N.J. Gov Christie hospitalized

July 28, 2011 12:11 PM EDT New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was hospitalized on Thursday and is having tests after having trouble breathing, his office said.

“Governor Christie was having difficulty breathing this morning and out of an abundance of caution he went to Somerset Medical Center to be checked out,” said a statement from Christie’s office.

“In line with someone dealing with asthma, he is being given routine tests as a precautionary measure. The Governor is extremely grateful for the quality of care he is receiving this morning and has nothing but praise for the world-class doctors, nurses and staff.”

A spokesman added shortly after that the governor is “fine and in charge.” The Star-Ledger reported that Christie is due to be released this afternoon.

Christie, 48, has struggled with his weight over the years and has periodically made efforts to try to slim down.

At town hall events, Christie often tells audiences that he has asthma, the Newark Star Ledger noted, adding that when the governor explains the difference between the federal government’s health care plans and New Jersey’s, he describes going to his local pharmacist to refill his inhaler prescription.

Christie had been scheduled to attend a bill-signing ceremony at 10:30 a.m. in Hillsborough, but the event was canceled, the paper said. He is also expected to take questions at 7 p.m. tonight on “Ask the Governor,” a monthly call-in radio show on New Jersey 101.5 FM, but there was no indication whether he would participate.

Christie has repeatedly ruled out a bid for president in 2012, despite efforts by some Republicans to push him into the race.
