Chris Christie has kept a low public persona since leaving the Statehouse six months ago, but with Democrats making much noise in his home county of Morris, the former governor couldn’t stay silent.
“You’ve got till Labor Day to fall in love with Jay Webber,” Christie said at a Republican “unity breakfast” Tuesday morning at the Zeris Inn in Mountain Lakes.
Webber just survived a contentious primary to win the GOP nomination to run for
Congress in District 11. His Democratic opponent, Mikie Sherrill, already has a campaign warchest of more than $4 million.
Zeroing in on what many see as one of the most pivotal House races in the country this year, Christie predicted that Sherrill, if elected, will support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker and the impeachment of Donald Trump. And he said that’s not the type of congress person who should replace the retiring Rodney P. Frelinghuysen.
Notwithstanding Christie’s crystal ball, Sherrill has said she would not back Pelosi as speaker and has withheld judgment on any possible move to impeach the president.

Didn’t he have the lowest approval ratings in history when he left office?
Since Christie rolls out a story which has this as its essential Lesson, I'm surprised he hasn't been more supportive of President Trump. I consider Christie to be an unethical backstabber. Who likes to portray himself as a loyalist.
Doubtful. I think Bob Taft in Ohio was in the teens when he left office in 2007.
It’s New Jersey, Republicans there are undocumented Democrats.
Frelinghuysen is a twit and will not be missed, but this district is not going Democratic.
Perhaps not this time but demographics are changing. Lots of NY plates moving in Morris county and West torwards the gap
CC has an ego that’s bigger than his brain.
And I can’t live in New Jersey when I retire, you fat POS!!!
