Field of GOP presidential candidates to grow this week

The field of Republican presidential candidates continues to grow with three more announcements this week. Former Governor Chris Christie, who also ran in 2016, will announce his campaign at a town hall in New Hampshire on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday, former Vice President Mike Pence will make his expected White House run official with an announcement in Iowa. The same day, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum also is expected to enter the Republican primary contest. It’s welcome news for the Trump campaign which believes the more candidates running, the better for Trump.
