Gov. Chris Christie said on Monday night that he does not plan to accept a job in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, declaring on his monthly radio show, “I’m serving the rest of my term.”
The remarks by the governor, who was among the first mainstream Republicans to support Trump’s candidacy, were his most definitive yet on the subject and come a day after he met with the president-elect at his golf club in Bedminster.
While Christie insisted on Monday that his position had not changed — that he’s been insisting all along that he would remain in New Jersey until his term ends in January, 2018 — he had previously left the door open to taking a cabinet position. And even after Christie was removed from his post as chairman of Trump's transition team, speculation continued to swirl that he may get a high-level position.
