Shabbos dinner with the Romneys: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, the most recent Republican candidate to join the race for president in 2016, will spend Friday night as a house guest of Mitt Romney at his family’s vacation home in Wolfeboro, N.H., The Washington Post reported.

Governor Christie, his wife and their two eldest children, will stay with Mitt and Ann Romney in the couple’s second home in New Hampshire tonight. Rubio, Christie and Romney were also spotted in a local ice-cream shop.
Christie said Friday that he plans to talk to Romney about “whatever he wants to talk about”. “I’m going to be as loyal to them as they were to me”, he said.
Christie, who declared his candidacy this week, said he was grateful for the invitation and suspected some politics will be discussed. But he continues to receive heat in some Republican circles for leaving the trail and embracing President Barack Obama after New Jersey was hit by Superstorm Sandy just before the election.
Christie was also a prominent surrogate for Romney during his presidential campaign in 2012 and delivered the keynote address at Romney’s nomination that year.
