Donald Trump Names New Jersey Governor As head Of His Transition Team


Donald Trump, the Republican presidential presumptive nominee, has named the New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as the head of his transition team. The role of a transition team would come into play only after Mr Trump wins the November general elections and entails preparing for a potential transfer of power and selection of White House administration staff.

The real estate mogul became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee about a week ago when he won the Indiana primary and two of his rivals - Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out of the race.


"Christie is an extremely knowledgeable and loyal person with the tools and resources to put together an unparalleled Transition Team, one that will be prepared to take over the White House when we win in November," Mr Trump said in a statement.
