Nate Cohen is providing some context to this potential announcement

If Christie schedules a 10/13 primary, it's a clear sign that he doesn't think a GOP victory is plausible.

A 10/13 special election is probably good for Christie, good for Booker, bad for tax payers, bad for the GOP Senate nominee
