Good morning. I'm Playbook Deputy Editor Zach Stanton. It is Thursday, April 20th, and here are a

Congress have continued to endorse Trump day after day this week. Meanwhile, Chris Christie,

the former New Jersey governor, has been barnstorming this week. He was in D.C. this week. He huddled with top advisors here.

understand what's happening behind the scenes in Christy World. What have you learned?

So I sat down with him on Monday because
