New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will keynote the Republican National Convention in Tampa later this month.
Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee Chairman, made the announcement on Tuesday.
“It is an honor to be able to address our party and our nation in just a few short weeks,” Christie said. “The challenges we face as a country are great and require the honesty and boldness of the Romney-Ryan team. We have an opportunity in Tampa to make clear that if we tell each other the hard truths, tackle the big problems, and make bold choices, we will see America’s comeback.”
The Republican National Convention will be held in Tampa from August 27-30.
