After dropping from the 2016 presidential race, Chris Christie stunned the political world by becoming the first major official to endorse Donald Trump.

Tapped with running Trump’s transition group, Christie was nearly named his operating partner. But within days of Trump’s shock victory over Hillary Clinton, Christie was set for his very own surprise: he was being booted out.
