Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Chris Christie vs. the world (or, at least, Democratic governors)
Chris Christie likes to mix it up; this much we know.
But increasingly, the pugilistic New Jersey governor isn’t just going at it with reporters or hecklers, but also with fellow governors. And in a way that governors historically have avoided.
A spat with California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) in recent days has quickly devolved into the kind of war of words you might see in a second-grade schoolyard. And it’s just the latest example of Christie openly feuding with another governor of the opposite party.
Christie has also spent time this year engaging with Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy (D) and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), meaning he has now gone at it with 15 percent of the Democratic governors in this country. (Math!)
