Now, Donald Trump has even more green on his side.
Jets owner Woody Johnson reportedly has thrown his support — and money — behind the the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Johnson, who has owned the Jets since 2000, is known best in political circles as one of the biggest Republican fundraisers. Last year, he was named the national finance chairman for Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign. But with Bush long gone, Johnson “plans to raise money for the Republican National Committee and Trump through a joint fundraising committee,” according to Bloomberg News.
The New York Times also reported Monday that Trump “met privately on Monday” with Johnson, and the GOP candidate later confirmed the meeting in “a brief interview” with the newspaper.
