WASHINGTON — Chris Christie’s presidential campaign-in-waiting sent invitations this afternoon to supporters inviting them to attend “presidential launch announcement and call day” on June 30 in New Jersey, according to an invitation obtained by CNN. As recently as last night Christie said “there’s been absolutely no final decision made by me” on his “Ask the Governor” radio program. On Friday at the New Jersey Statehouse, Gov. Christie refused to answer questions about his political future.
But the “Chris Christie for President, Inc.” invitation sent this afternoon by Ray Washburne, the Christie campaign’s finance chief, dispenses with any mystery about Chris Christie’s planned announcement on Tuesday.
As CNN’s Dana Bash reported, Christie is expected to head to New Hampshire shortly after his announcement in his boyhood hometown of Livingston, NJ for his first official campaign trip as a 2016 presidential candidate.
