(RNS) — When New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie entered the 2016 GOP presidential nominating race, he said, "I am now ready to fight for the people of the United States of America."
"Fight" is the operative word. In one debate after another, Christie set out to establish himself as the toughest guy out there on security, immigration and other hot-button issues. And after a 10th-place finish in the Iowa caucus, Christie vowed to tough it out through the New Hampshire primary (where Catholic voters are a minority ) and beyond.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders may be getting an up-and-close look at the man who portrays him on television: comedian Larry David.
Sanders is taking a short break from the campaign trail in New Hampshire and planning to be in New York on Saturday night. Senior adviser Tad Devine says Sanders is likely to appear on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," where David will be the host this weekend.
