TAPPER: And we have some breaking news for you in the politics lead. A new name is emerging as a top contender to replace John Kelly as White House chief of staff. A source close to the White House is telling CNN that former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is now considered a strong option as others seem to be rushing to take their names out of the running, possibly unwilling to take on the firestorms that are waiting. Let's go to CNN's Kaitlan Collins at the White House. And, Kaitlan, the job of White House chief of staff used to elevate people, but with Reince Priebus and John Kelly, arguably, it actually diminished their reputations.</s>KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: And you better bet that's a big factor being considered by people whose names are now being floated. Jake, what's complicating this search is that it essentially got started 24 hours ago. Because President Trump did not think Nick Ayers was going to decline this job, and there was no backup. Now old names are being floated and essentially it is a free for all in Washington for who is going to be the next chief of staff.
