Washington: In a major boost to his White House bid ahead of a multi-state vote next week, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has got a surprise endorsement from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who was himself a contender till recently.
Close on the heels of Christie’s endorsement, Maine Governor Paul LePage also backed Trump saying, “I'll be very honest. I originally said I'd like it to be a governor, but unfortunately, the American people are not going for a governor this year. So I'm going to endorse Donald Trump.”
53-year-old Christie, at a rally in Fortworth, Texas, on Friday said,”Donald is a leader. He is a successful person that, like me, isn't afraid to tell it like it is. Our system is broken and it won't be fixed from the inside. I am proud to offer my endorsement of his candidacy for President,”
Former White House contender Christie’s endorsement to Trump just ahead of the ‘Super Tuesday’ in which primary elections would be held in 11 states -- is expected to what is supporters said “seal the deal” for the 69-year-old reality TV star-turned-politician.
