Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s PAC has sent an email to his supporters praising New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as a “conservative leader” in the blue state where he’s running for reelection.
The pairing of Rubio and Christie is interesting for a few reasons, including that both are often mentioned as potential 2016 GOP presidential hopefuls. Christie has been hit by conservatives for appearing with Obama during the final week of the election after Hurricane Sandy, a move critics said unnecessarily undermined Mitt Romney.
And Rubio — one of the party’s brighter young stars after he defeated then-Gov. Charlie Crist in the tea party wave of 2010 — has been dinged by some conservatives over his work on the immigration reform bill that recently cleared a Senate committee.
“Conservative leadership is hard to find these days, but the voters in New Jersey have seen it firsthand,” Rubio writes in the email from his Reclaim America PAC. “After living through 8 years of skyrocketing taxes, rampant job loss, and the largest budget deficit per person in the country, the people of New Jersey were desperate for real leadership and a new direction. And that’s what they got in Governor Chris Christie. As Governor, Chris Christie challenged New Jersey politics as usual. And his limited government and free enterprise reforms are helping turn around one of the bluest of blue states.”
