In the middle of the event, a man asked Christie what his stance was in the Supreme Court's recent ruling that allowed Hobby Lobby to limit its employees' birth control insurance coverage. He answered by declaring his support for the ruling as captured on a video posted YouTube.

The visit to Iowa affirmed Christie's intuitions that the citizens there "love him." In an interview at the cafe's parking lot, he said he gets a lot of "affection and respect" from the Iowans.

A survey by NBC/Marist found that one-third of Iowa-based GOP registered voters felt negative about him, Christie took it positively. He said the result was "pretty good" since only a third felt that way.

On Thursday evening, Christie was at Davenport to attend a fundraising event for Iowa Governor Terry Branstad. Media staff asked him if his "conservative" qualities were enough to gain Iowa's favor and he replied by saying trust was to be the main basis of determining if a person was worth voting for a certain position.

With regards to the issue about immigration, Christie said the situation is complicated. He explained that the reason it is the main issue among Americans is because the citizens think the government "refused to address" it properly.

As for the bickering between White House candidates Rick Perry and Rand Paul, Christie said he would rather not play referee and just see what happens next. He added that his main responsibility was to move his party forward and not to meddle with Perry and Paul's situation.

As of now, Christie is still considering if he should run for president or not, he told reporters. However, some of 200 people who joined the meet-and-greet event hope he decides to run in the 2016 presidential race.
