INDIANAPOLIS -- Vice President-elect Mike Pence will take over the reigns of Donald Trump's transition team from Gov. Chris Christie.
President-elect Donald Trump made the announcement Friday afternoon:

Governor Christie will stay on as a Vice Chair of the transition team. Other members include Dr. Ben Carson, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani, and Alabama Sen. Jeff
