New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to make a campaign appearance in Iowa next week to boost Mitt Romney’s candidacy in the state where voting in the Republican presidential race kicks off Jan. 3.
The trip by Christie offers the latest sign that Romney is ramping up efforts to more aggressively compete in the Iowa caucuses as former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is getting a second look from the state’s Republican activists.
Christie is to appear on Romney’s behalf Wednesday, according to a Romney campaign official who wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the event. No details of Christie’s Iowa stop were available.
