Description
Chris Christie has suspended his campaign for the White House. In a statement he said, "I leave the race without an ounce of regret." This week, we look back on his quest to become the next president. And NJPR's Matt Katz explains what went wrong for the Gov in New Hampshire. Christie spent more than 70 days campaigning in the Granite State. He held 76 town hall events there.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie addresses supporters in New Hampshire, Feb. 9, 2016.  Check out the WNYC Data News App: The Christie Tracker and Matt’s new book, American Governor: Chris Christie’s Bridge to Redemption.
