“Part of my job in helping Donald Trump as a candidate is for him to hear my points of view,” Christie said in an interview Monday night with New Jersey 101.5 radio, days after rocking the political world with a bombshell endorsement of Trump.

“Will he do that?” radio host Eric Scott followed up.

“There’s no question,” Christie replied. “I am the highest level endorser that Donald Trump has had. I am the person with the most experience in government that is in his circle, and so as a result, that gives me some credibility to make recommendations and suggestions over time where appropriate and for him to consider.”

The New Jersey governor insists that he hasn’t discussed with Trump the possibility of becoming his vice presidential nominee and that it wasn’t the part of a backroom deal to secure his support. But he isn’t ruling out the possibility either.
