New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reportedly gearing up to formally suspend his 2016 presidential campaign, a report claimed on Wednesday. Worth noting, PPD has not been able to confirm the report and the Christie campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

CNN, citing two sources close to Mr. Christie, reported that “all indications” are that they expect him to end his bid for the Republican nomination, though details are still being worked out.

“Gov. Christie succeeded in damaging Sen. Marco Rubio in the debate on Saturday ahead of the vote,” said PPD’s senior political analyst Richard Baris. “But what the media and other observers failed to understand is that hurting Rubio and helping himself were always two different things.”

Gov. Christie finished in sixth place in the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday night after investing his time and resources in the Granite State. He said Tuesday during his speech that he would go back to New Jersey Wednesday to take stock of his numbers. With 95% of precincts reporting, Christie is at 7% with 20,291 votes, the last of the governors running for president.
