Months after their post-Hurricane Sandy embrace became an endurinng image of bipartisanship, President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) will survey the storm’s damage once again.
On Tuesday, Obama and Christie will tour areas in New Jersey affected by the storm, the Washington Post reported.
Christie has enjoyed enormous popularity at home in the months following Sandy, with many crediting the Republican’s show of bipartisanship after the storm. He is an overwhelming favorite to win re-election this year over his little-known Democratic challenger, state Sen. Barbara Buono.
Some Republicans expressed frustration toward Christie for praising Obama’s handling of the storm with the election only days away, insisting that it helped secure a second term for the President.
