"But it didn't work out", Christie said, adding that he doesn't agree with all the billionaire real estate mogul's positions or statements but that he considers Trump the best of the remaining Republicans.

The state's two largest newspaper companies have called for him to resign, and less than a third of New Jersey residents say they still support him.

He said he and Trump have been friends for 14 years.

"I'm here, I'm back to work", said Christie. So he cares about me getting home to Mary Pat. "No, I was not sitting up there thinking, 'Oh my god, what have I done?'" Christie said during a news conference at New Jersey's statehouse. Trump told him, Christie said, "You've been with me for two days". He said that he does not yet have concrete plans to campaign for Trump, but that he will likely do so "on occasion".

"The only plans I have to go away is to finally take a few days off". "Chris Christie is not interviewing or considering any other public job", Christie said. He said he had "absolutely no intention" to resign. According to Christie, he intends to stay in office until the end of his term next January.

The Star Ledger, like the Press, said the Trump endorsement is the last straw and another sign "that he's neglected his job".

He said Trump opted to hold a press conference on Super Tuesday, rather than give a rallying speech more typical of a Super Tuesday celebration.

"All these armchair psychologists should give it a break." he said. "I don't know what I was supposed to do". I'm not gonna be down there, I'm not gonna be gazing at him with longing eyes like I'm in love with the guy standing behind him on the stage anymore. This is part of the hysteria.
