Thin on the left so far
None of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told an audience at the Granite State Summit on Responsible Gaming in New Hampshire on Tuesday that he is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028. He said he will wait until after the November midterm elections to make a final decision, linking the party’s performance in those elections to his own calculations.
During the same appearance Christie called for a crackdown on prediction markets, urging state lawmakers to introduce regulations that would curb speculative betting on political outcomes. He framed the request as a matter of protecting the integrity of the electoral process.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after…?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 33% are rated centre, 67% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after… left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 6 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after… biased?
- Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after midterms is one event reported by 6 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
