Chris Christie A Key Member Of Donald Trump’s Inner Circle
Chris Christie is positioned as a Key member of Donald Trump’s inner circle, and helping the front-runner prepare for the last Republican debate in Miami.
The New Jersey governor once mocked for endorsing Donald Trump after backing out of his White House bid, and now he is seen as more than show up as a recognizable name on the stump.
Edward Newton, who led the team vetting Gov. Christie 4 years ago as a possible running mate for Mitt Romney, said that the reports that the governor helped Trump prepare for the debate shows the governor’s growing influence on the front-runner’s campaign.
“Leading the debate prep, as Christie has, or the VP candidate search, as Dick Cheney did, fosters a strong relationship and a great level of trust,” Newton said. “It is natural for that person to see themselves becoming a potential running mate.”
Gov. Christie’s endorsement of Donald Trump initially led to ridicule in some camps, including a series of Internet memes and a skit on “Saturday Night Live” after he was pictured standing behind Donald Trump at a press conference early this month.
But now, as Donald Trump comes closer to securing the GOP nomination, people who want to become involved in the Trump campaign are going through him giving Gov. Christie ‘Gate Keeper” status for the campaign.
Gov. Christie has arranged a conference call with Donald Trump and New Jersey Republican leaders to speak about campaign help according to reports.
A Christie confidante Bill Palatucci sits on the Republican National Committee’s Rules Committee, he is expected to protect Donald Trump’s interests at this Summer’s GOP convention in Cleveland.
The New Jersey’s 52 delegates in the coming winner-take-all primary would be a Key boost in Donald Trump’s drive to win the 1,237 delegates needed to secure his nomination on the convention’s 1st ballot.
