Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is considering another presidential campaign in 2028 but says he plans to wait and see how the political landscape develops following the 2026 midterm elections.

Christie, a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2024 before ending his campaign during the primary season, has not ruled out another bid. Earlier this year, he said “never say never” when asked about a 2028 campaign and indicated that he would wait until after the 2026 elections before deciding what comes next.

Christie has now pointed specifically to the next six weeks, saying he first wants to “see what happens in six weeks” before making decisions about his political future. The 2026 midterms will determine control of Congress and are scheduled for November 3rd.

The former governor has remained active in national political discussions since leaving the 2024 presidential race. He has also discussed potential Republican contenders for 2028, previously identifying Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp as Republicans who could emerge as candidates.

Christie's political profile has also been defined in recent years by his outspoken opposition to President Donald Trump. Christie campaigned against Trump during the 2024 Republican primary and made Trump's record and continued political influence central to his campaign. He ultimately ended his bid without winning a primary contest and subsequently continued criticizing Trump and his political movement.

For now, Christie has left his own plans unresolved, with the November elections serving as an important marker before he decides whether to pursue another run for the White House.
