New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), remains silent about his plans about running for president in 2016, but he mentioned that his decision may come early next year.

According to the governor, his recent campaign tours will most likely help him decide whether he wants the Republican nomination or not.

During a news conference on Thursday, a member of the press asked the governor whether his campaign travels will have an effect on his choice, Christie answered: "That's all stuff for me to consider."

He added that his recent trips will give him and his family a window or an insight on what would it be like if he decided to run on 2016, adding that the decision will come in the beginning of 2015.

In a statement released by Center for Politics director Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia, the timeline given by Christie was "prudent," since the majority of those who were seeking to run or will announce their decision to run, have only given it until late spring.

Christie have been traveling to different states while campaigning for different Republican candidates and getting involved in fundraising programs for the RGA.

The governor has traveled to North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, District of Columbia and New Hampshire, just within the week.

And within the month, he has been to New York. Florida, Mexico and Illinois.

According to Sabato, the fund raising and the governor's exposure in different states will be an advantage if he will indeed run for president.

However, traveling and fundraising does not guarantee a win, Sabato said.

Although it is a necessary component to a successful campaign, it is not enough to guarantee a successful candidacy.

But Christie said that he still has about 29 more days left to raise funds and to travel.

He added that at the end of the campaign period for the midterm elections, he will either decide whether he likes or hates the experience, and it will conclude his choice early next year.
