New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reached out to Wall Street’s top donors earlier this year to gauge their interest in funding a $100 million effort to challenge former President Donald Trump in the presidential race, according to sources familiar with the matter. While many business titans have since donated to Christie’s campaign, one notable exception is Mets owner and hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen. However, Cohen’s intentions could change in the future. Christie has garnered support from prominent individuals, although he has not disclosed their names. The Christie campaign and super PAC, Tell It Like It Is, have received overwhelming support, according to their spokespersons. Despite Trump’s lead in the polls, many top Republican financiers are seeking an alternative candidate to lead the party. Christie has turned to other wealthy donors for financial support, including CEOs and veteran lobbyists. These individuals believe that Christie is the only candidate willing to directly challenge Trump.
