Team Christie brushes off reports Jeb Bush is scooping up all the donors

Johnson, the Times reported, has decided to back Bush, while Kean hasn’t made up his mind–though he offered praise for Bush, according to the Post.

“An essential part of Gov. Christie’s appeal is his ability to bring new people into the political process, whether they be donors or activists. He has proven this ability time and again in the past, winning handily in a blue state. If he decides to run, it is clear he will have the resources to run an aggressive, winning race,” DuHaime said in an email to CNN. He was quoted saying the same thing to the Times.

Christie, who’s been traveling to early presidential primary states, is in Washington this week to attend meetings for the Republican Governors Association, which he chaired last year, and the National Governors Association.
