Via The Hill:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reportedly considering a run for chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC).
Christie, a longtime supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, told members of his transition team he may mount a bid to succeed RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Trump’s incoming chief of staff, according to Thursday reports.
The New Jersey governor faces dismal approval ratings in his own state. The conviction this month of two former allies on criminal charges stemming from the “Bridgegate” scandal has only increased the pressure on Christie.
He said week he has no intentions of leaving until his term as governor ends in 2018.
Christie ran for the GOP presidential nomination this year and stunned the political world when he endorsed Trump after ending his campaign.
