NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine says he intends to leave office, even if US President-elect Joe Biden asks him to stay in the new administration, Gazeta reported.

Bridenstine told Aviation Week that NASA needs someone who has close ties with the US President and whom the administration trusts and added that he doesn’t think he’s fit to be a part of the new administration.

US presidential elections were held on November 3. On November 7, ABC News, FOX News, CNN, AP and NBC announced the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
