Indiana Gov. Mike Pence Sunday gave tentative support to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who heads the Donald Trump transition team.
Christie, once considered a possible running mate for Trump, took a big hit to his political career Friday after two of his aides were convicted of rigging a huge traffic jam in a political payback scheme.
Pence was asked on "Fox News Sunday" Sunday whether there was any chance Christie would be replaced after the election, if Trump wins. Pence responded with a general and limited promise that made no guarantees beyond Tuesday.
"There's no changes in personnel here in the waning days of the campaign," he said.
In a direct question about Christie, Pence was equally tepid, mostly pointing to Christie's defense of his actions rather than framing one in his own words
"Chris Christie has continued to strongly state his position that he has no knowledge of those actions taken," Pence said. "And frankly, as he said later in the week, that what those convictions prove, is that he was right to immediately fire those people"
"All of our focus is on Election Day and we're grateful for Chris Christie's role in the campaign," he said.
