A lot of people have been wondering what Chris Christie has been up to recently. After all, the one-time presidential hopeful was one of the few to become a full-fledged Donald Trump booster after dropping out the race.
There seemed to have been a clue Tuesday morning, as Christie teased a mystery announcement later in the day.
Chris Christie to make 'announcement' today, won't take questions https://t.co/ESdWnOxjjr pic.twitter.com/3jSpSj3sYl

America knows by now that Elaine Chao has been chosen to serve as transportation secretary in the Trump administration, so what was Christie’s big announcement? Drum roll, please.
"I think all of you thought I was announcing something else. Appreciate you being here…I am completing my term," Chris Christie to press.

#StateHouse Damn people, just how much do you think those floors can take after seven years of #ChrisChristie on them? $300m is a bargain
