Gov. Chris Christie told reporters during a visit to Tennessee on Friday that he won’t decide whether to run for the 2016 Republican nomination for president until sometime next year, according to a report by The Tennesseean.
“I’ve said to folks, I’m certainly thinking about it,” Christie said during a stop at a local restaurant with Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.
But he noted “it’s a lifetime away until 2016.”
“My mother taught me a long time ago, stupid people make decisions before they have to,” Christie said. “I’m not stupid.”
Christie has been traveling around the U.S. since November, when he became chairman of the Republican Governors Association, a group that raises money for GOP gubernatorial candidates.
