New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie promised a campaign of "big ideas and hard truths" when he formally entered the presidential race during a rally at his old high school on Tuesday.
"We need to have strength and decision making and authority back in the Oval Office. And that is why today I am proud to announce my candidacy for the Republican nomination for president of the United States of America," Christie said during a rally at Livingston High School in New Jersey.
The often blunt Republican played up his penchant for straight talk during his announcement, promising to honesty "whether you like it or not."
"I mean what I say and I say what I mean and that's what America needs right now," Christie said.
Christie said he has spent the past 13 years "fighting for fairness" as a U.S. attorney and governor, and now is ready to fight for the entire United States.
