New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is changing the view of the Republican Party, one vote at a time.
The minority vote has always been a far feat with Republicans but according to the votes gained in last week’s election, the politician obtained most of the Hispanic and African American vote in New Jersey. In an interview with “Fox News Sunday” the governor discussed his secret in gathering the coveted votes.
“Getting 51 percent of the Hispanic vote, I’m very proud of that,” he said. “Because I’ve worked hard with the Hispanic community to let them see how our policies can help their families. I’ve worked hard with the African American community. I’ve worked hard with seniors and students.”
In short, he gave this blatantly obvious advice to his fellow Republicans looking to gain the minority vote: step up and show out.
“If you want to win a vote by that kind of margin, if you want to attract the majority of the Hispanic vote, if you want to nearly triple your African American vote, you need to show up, you need to go into those neighborhoods, you need to campaign in places,” Christie said.
Hmmm, agree? Sound off below.
