WATCH LIVE: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie answers questions following the launch of his second presidential campaign on Tuesday
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie launched his second presidential campaign on Tuesday, entering the growing Republican primary race as former President Donald Trump's main antagonist.
Christie made the case that in recent years the country has been helmed by people who have"led us to being small — small by their example, small by the way they conduct themselves, small by the things they tells us we should care about ... They're making us smaller by dividing us into smaller and smaller groups."

He said Trump made the country"smaller by dividing us even further and pitting one group against another." He also accused former President Barack Obama and President Biden of dividing Americans. "If you are in search of the perfect candidate, it is time to leave. I am not it. Not only am I not the perfect candidate, I'm far from the perfect person," he said.
