Christie Hospitalized With Asthma
Politickernj is reporting that Governor Chris Christie has been taken to Somerset Medical Center due to breathing difficulties.
Christie was on his way to a bill signing ceremony in Hillsborough. That event has been canceled.
At the Middletown Town Hall meeting this past January, the Governor made a passing reference to the fact that he is an asthmatic.
Press Secretary Michael Drewniak told reporters in Hillsborough that Christie is routinely tested for asthma, according to Politickernj.
The Wall Street Journal quotes Drewniak as follows:
“The Governor is extremely grateful for the quality of care he is receiving this morning and has nothing but praise for the world-class doctors, nurses and staff,” his office said.
Glad to hear the Gov is okay. Hope he doesn’t find out that NJ Today devoted a whopping 18 seconds of its 6 minutes of actual news reporting to his trip to the hospital.
FYI, Version Fios was on scene all day with live reports.
