Donald Trump met with former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Thursday evening at the White House, people familiar with the matter said, as the president continues to consider a replacement for outgoing Chief of Staff John Kelly.
The Trump and Christie meeting occurred on the same night that the president and First Lady Melania Trump welcomed guests, including former aides and campaign donors, to a White House Christmas reception. Christie, who stepped down as New Jersey’s governor early this year after two terms, endorsed Trump in 2016 after his own campaign didn’t gain traction in the Republican primaries. Since the election, his name has been floated for a number of administration posts.
