President-elect Republican Donald Trump put Vice President-elect Mike Pence in charge of his White House transition team. The one of the first key decisions as Trump pivots from campaigning to governing, amounted to a demotion for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
Trump said in a statement that, Pence would "build on the initial work" done by Christie.

"Together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding this nation - specifically jobs, security and opportunity," Trump said.

Christie said he was "proud to have run the pre-election phase" of the transition team and thanked Trump for the "opportunity to continue to help lead."

Three of Trump's adult children Eric, Ivanka and  Donald Jr. are on the transition executive committee, along with Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law.
