Chris Christie: Trump’s ‘Done a Great Job So Far’ with Harvey

‘President Trump has put together a great team of folks to go with him to Texas’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CHRISTIE: "I think he’s done a great job so far and for anyone to argue he is there too soon, let’s remember hurricane Sandy happened in October 29th 2012. President Obama showed up in New Jersey on October 31st 2012. Two days later. President Trump is following the same type of rhythm. I think it’s the right thing to do. I think it was important for President Obama and I can tell you from having traveled with him that day, it was incredibly important for him to see the devastation for himself. It was important for him to hear from people were being affected and clearly informed decisions he made his is going forward. President Trump has put together a great team of folks to go with him to Texas. This is not some type of photo op. This is the working time where he met with governor Abbott and they figure out what they need and what the priorities are and the basis for a relationship that’s going to continue for months going forward to make sure the challenges are met. I think President Trump has done an extraordinary job so far. He and the first lady are right to be down there meeting with members of the cabinet. The cabinet members of governor Abbott and governor Abbott and the president are going to need that relationship as they try to navigate the bureaucracy and the challenge that will come up in the storm."
