Christie Jokes About Life After Leaving Office...Or Does He?
TRENTON, N.J. (CBS) - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has a little over 16 months left in his term.
So what does he do after that? Believe it or not, he's thinking about life after Trenton.
If Donald Trump doesn't win the White House in November, Christie does not go to Washington. He's already putting one child through college, with two more due to start when he leaves office.
A reporter asked him about a couple recent appearances as a substitute sports talk host on New York radio.
"You know I'm a big sports fan," he said. "You know I go to a lot of sports events and so that qualifies me as much as anybody else to have opinions and go on sports radio and talk."
Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell toyed with the idea in Philadelphia, remember?
Christie's far more likely to go back into practicing law. There's a lot more money there. But he's ruling nothing out.
"I'm auditioning for anything. Whatever you've got for after January 2018," Christie said. "I'm willing to give it some thought, within reason. I won't be a reporter."
So it's clear he's got standards.
