New York Democrats have driven one of the state’s major donors into the arms of Republicans...
billionaire James Dolan, owner of the NBA champion New York Knicks, has spearheaded an effort to pour millions of dollars into Republican Bruce Blakeman’s gubernatorial campaign.
In 2022, Dolan backed Blakeman’s opponent, Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Now, in conjunction with his company and with family members, Dolan has given so much money to pro-Blakeman committees and super PACs that he stands as New York state’s single largest GOP donor.
New York Conservative Party Chair Jerry Kassar offered one explanation for the billionaire’s apparent shift.
...
Dolan’s business interests include keeping Madison Square Garden intact. The billionaire owns the legendary arena. He also owns the two teams that call the Garden home: the Knicks and the NHL’s New York Rangers.
...
Dolan has also feuded with Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City
...
From the GOP perspective, Dolan’s contributions could have nationwide consequences. After all, if Blakeman runs a competitive race against Hochul, down-ballot Republicans will benefit. That includes Republicans in U.S. House swing districts, of which New York boasts several.
Thus, a strong showing from Blakeman, backed by Dolan, could help the GOP maintain control of Congress.

He should remind the voters that Hochul was a major player in the inexcusable lockdowns, which are now known to have been not only unnecessary but, in application, deleterious.
I doubt she would know what “deleterious” means.
Make them tne New Jersey Knicks. Not much of an improvement to say the least, but at least they’d be out of the worst.
It should be a banner year in political advertising. The billionaires are pulling out all the stops.
Go team!
“...pour millions of dollars into Republican Bruce Blakeman’s gubernatorial campaign.”
“...In 2022, Dolan backed Blakeman’s opponent, Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul”
That right there is a real trustworthy individual. /s
Too late asshole. The fix is in
KNICK the Demonrat’s attempts to destroy U.S. in the bud.
I thought that was the media’s job
Hochul gives the Knicks a bad name.
The Dolans of the world are worthless.
They typically don’t do jack squat in terms of prevention. Then all of a sudden once everything is toxic, they wake up and do one of two things but then still remain largely on the sidelines.
Kind of sick of all the virtue signaling from guys like this James Dolan. The time to stop it was 6 months ago. The time to stop it was a year ago. The time to stop it was a decade ago.
All of this wasted time. I simply marvel at all of the wasted time.
The broadcasters are salivating.
Better late than never, eh, Dolan?
Note that Dolan does this AFTER Pres. Trump’s endorsement of Blakeman.
