The problem with getting replacement tunnels under the Hudson is the Republican party.

Forgive me I am not from this area, New York and New Jersey's elected governments are both predominantly from the Democratic Party. What do the Republicans have to do with the tunnel?

Republican governor of New Jersey Chris Christie canceled the ARC tunnel project in 2010 after work has just started. I think because he was dumb enough to think that he could use the money to reward political allies. Instead about half the money ended up applied to the California High Speed Rail project.

In 2016 when Trump came into office he canceled the replacement Gateway tunnel project. Why did Trump do that? Probably just as a fuck you to New York, no other reason.
