“I’ve been really clear about this since I endorsed Donald back in February, that I had every intention then and I have every intention and belief now, as I said in Atlantic City last week, that I’m gonna fulfill my term,” Christie, a Trump supporter, told New Jersey’s 101.5 “Ask the Governor” radio show. 

Christie said he never told Trump he did not want a position in the administration. He also rejected the notion that Trump told him there would not be a place for the governor once the president-elect takes the oath of office.

“The only thing that I said that I would consider doing was when he considered me for vice president, and he suggested, you know, Gov. [Mike] Pence [R-Ind.],” he added.

The governor emphasized his “desire” to complete his term and said he believes Trump understands his obligation to the state of New Jersey.

Christie, who was briefly the chairman of Trump’s transition team before being replace by Vice President-elect Pence, said Trump “has been incredibly generous.”

“What I’m telling everybody is that I have absolutely every reason to believe I will be serving here until Jan. 18th of 2018,” he said.
