Christie Fades from View In Trump Campaign

Politico: “During the final few weeks of the presidential campaign, as Trump falls further behind in the polls, picks fights with his own party’s leaders and makes unsupported claims about a ‘rigged’ campaign, Christie — one of Trump’s most faithful surrogates since primary season — hasn’t been there to back him up.”

“The governor has not withdrawn his endorsement of Trump… But Christie — who has appeared on camera to defend all manner of Trump controversy over the course of the campaign — pulled out of an Oct. 9 appearance on CNN the day after the Trump hot-mic tape surfaced… The governor was also notably absent from the audience at the presidential debate the next night, despite reports that he helped Trump campaign prepare for it.
