New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s visit to London, which began in the afterglow of a rival’s departure from the 2016 presidential race, ended in a huff.
Assured that fellow Republican Mitt Romney wouldn’t make a third bid as their party’s nominee, Christie began Feb. 1 as a red-and-white scarf-wearing Arsenal soccer fan and visited the next day with Prime Minister David Cameron.
