It's take two for Chris Christie as the former two-term New Jersey governor officially launches his second White House bid, joining a crowded field of presidential hopefuls vying for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Christie formally declared his candidacy Tuesday evening during a town hall event at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, the state with the first presidential primary.

"I can't guarantee you success in what I'm about to do. But I guarantee you that at the end of it, you will have no doubt in your mind who I am and what I stand for and whether I deserve it," Christie told the crowd.  

"So, that's why I came back to Saint Anselm's, and that's why I came back to Manchester, and that's why I came back to New Hampshire, to tell all of you that I intend to seek the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 2024, and I want your support," he said.

In his speech, Christie railed against the division that he said has driven Americans into smaller groups, brought about by the likes of former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. He also touted America's role throughout its history in "fighting evil" across the world.
