Oh, the crazy serpentine language that these pre-announced snakes use.
Christie keeps saying that he has not made a decision yet about getting into the race.
Ahhh, okay fine I guess,
Then in the next breath he says "I intend to be the nominee."

Chris Christie: ‘I am the viable Trump alternative’
The comments came while the former New Jersey governor was in New Hampshire, a state where he finished sixth in the 2016 GOP primary. But seven years later, after falling out with former President Trump and with primary season approaching, Christie appears on the verge of launching his second White House bid.
Christie, who has spent the past few years frequently criticizing Trump in his capacity as an on-air contributor for ABC News, has said he will decide whether to run in 2024 by sometime in May. The main question he is trying to answer before making a decision: Is there a path to winning the primary?
Christie said last month he was considering that question. In his interview with the Daily Beast, he seemed more assured of himself on the question.
“I am the viable Trump alternative,” he said.
“I think we’ll lose if Trump’s a nominee,” Christie told The Daily Beast. “That’s why I intend to be the nominee.”
