New Jersey governor Chris Christie was cautiously optimistic on Wednesday morning that Congress will be able to pass a federal relief aid for the victims of superstorm Sandy.
"I met with the congressional delegation yesterday, I'm hopeful" he told me on "Good Morning America." "But at the end of the day, it's never done 'till it's done….It's never done 'till it's done but I'm going to keep the pressure on."
Christie, who had particularly pointed criticism at House Republicans after the relief bill was held up in the lower chamber, said that Sandy was "above politics," and he hopes that both parties can learn to rise above, and learn to listen.
"Sandy is and was above politics. There are certain things that happen in our lives that have to be above politics and both parties should rise above, as hard as that is for them sometimes," he said. "I'd like them to learn to listen. Listen to people in my state, listen to the people in the state of New York.
