Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to announce he is running for president next week. Why are we discussing this on a New York (and New Jersey) sports website, you ask? Because of who is apparently set to provide Christie with a lot of cash for his attempted march to the Potomac.
There have been several reports indicating Mets owner Steve Cohen plans to support Christie. Which makes sense. Cohen is a prolific GOP donor (he has donated to Democrats too). He supported Christie’s bid in 2016.
