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.
