One of the sources told NJ Advance Media that the New Jersey governor is in strong contention to become the nation’s secretary of energy or secretary of homeland security.

“The one person who really values what Chris has done, and how loyal he’s been, is Donald Trump,” the person close to the Trump transition said.

None of the sources are authorized to speak publicly about Trump’s transition planning.

Both posts would require confirmation from the U.S. Senate. Christie, whose second and final term expires on Jan. 18, 2018, would need to resign as governor to assume either job.
