Chris Christie Cheers Rick Scott's Win Over Charlie Crist

In his role as chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., was a constant presence on the campaign trail with Gov. Rick Scott in Florida in the final days of his battle with former Gov. Charlie Crist, the Democratic candidate despite spending most of his political life in the GOP.

On Tuesday night, after Scott beat Crist, when the smoke cleared, Christie was quick to congratulate the Florida governor.

Gov. Rick Scotts leadership in his first term brought Florida back from the brink, and with four more years to enact his low-tax, pro-jobs, pro-growth agenda, the Sunshine States future just gets brighter from here, said Christie. Gov. Scotts message in this campaign was one of true progress, and his victory is a testament to the real results he has achieved for Florida. The Republican Governors Association congratulates Gov. Rick Scott on his re-election.

Christie is a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.
