Outgoing Gov. Pat McCrory may not be jobless for long once he leaves office next month.

According to the Charlotte Observer, a source close to the Trump transition team said Tuesday that McCrory "definitely" has a place in the new administration.

McCrory met with the president-elect last week at Trump Tower in New York City. The day before, he’d met backstage with Trump during the president-elect’s thank-you rally in Fayetteville.

Last week, the Republican governor conceded defeat to Attorney General Roy Cooper.
