The goal, according to the campaign, was to engage with a voting bloc that has potential for impact in New Hampshire but has been often ignored by Republicans.
Christie’s pitch for New Hampshire students was a continuation of his message against Donald Trump during the latest debate, when he called the former president “unfit for office” and called out other Republicans for not opposing him more strongly. Approximately 40% of voters in New Hampshire are registered as “Undeclared,” allowing them to choose whether to vote in the Republican or Democratic primary.
