something he said he did, that he did reconsider it seriously with his family, but saying he has a commitment to new jersey, saying the people sent me to trenton to get a job done, and i'm just not prepared to walk away. and putting it this way in terms of the timing of all of this. listen to the governor moments ago. >> i've thought long and hard about this decision. i've explored the options, i've listened to so many people and considered whether this was something that i needed to take on. but in the end what i've always felt was the right decision remains the right decision today. now is not my time. i have a commitment to new jersey that i simply will not abandon. megyn: the governor saying he did not feel it was right to leave before his job in new jersey was finished. so what does all of this mean for governor christie and for the republican race for president going forward?
