Chris Christie's Comeback Tour Might Have One Catch

Julian Zelizer, a Princeton University professor of history and political science who tracks Christie, said the call for ending Social Security payments to those making $200,000 or more in additional income was certain to hurt his standing with older voters. "He's just trying to get back in the game and get some attention—in that respect he got what he wanted," Zelizer said. "But it may not be enough and in the long-run he said some things that could hurt him."
