New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is considering dropping out of the 2016 presidential race.

Sources familiar with Christie's camp told CNN on Wednesday that Governor Christie was reconsidering his campaign after a dismal sixth place showing in the New Hampshire primary.

“[Some people] had left Christie for dead after the bridge incident and the fact that he was able to claw his way back into a competitive situation in New Hampshire shows how resilient of a candidate he was and how good of a campaign he had around him,” one source said.

On Tuesday, Governor Christie told The Independent that he would win the US presidential election and visit the UK after his inauguration.
