Probably -- it gives Trump some links to mainstream politics in a way that might grant him legitimacy (aling with his commanding poll figures).
But it's a disturbing and glaringly cynical move by Christie. Barely two or three weeks ago Christie, campaigning himself, described Trump as having "not the first clue how to run a government", an "entertainer-in-chief", and with "make-believe" policies, and advised people to "get off the Trump train before it is too late".
What changed in the last two weeks? Only that Christie was losing, badly. Now, like some kind of twisted glory supporter, he's going to attempt to pretend that he was siding with Trump all along. It's gross and cynical, and shouldn't be looked on as anything other than a desperate attempt to sneak a powerful job in Trump's potential cabinet.

And I see that Mitch McConnell, no less, the leader of Republicans in the Senate, has indicated that Republican senators could effectively campaign against Trump in November's Senate elections by running ads against him - thereby dissociating themselves from his Presidential campaign
All of which makes the Labour Party just now look like Solidarity :-)
