New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) praised President Barack Obama's response to Hurricane Sandy, which he said has left over 2.4 million people without power in his state.
"It's a major disaster," Christie said on NBC's Today. "We have a battered, battered New Jersey shore that I hope to tour a little bit later on today, but I think the losses are going to be almost incalculable."
This morning, Obama declared a major disster in New Jersey and New York, making federal aid available to help with recovery efforts.
Christie said that he had spoken with Obama several times on Monday, and that the federal response "has been great."
"I was on the phone at midnight again last night with the president personally," Christie said. "The president has been outstanding in this, and so the folks of FEMA, Craig Fugate and his folks have been excellent."
