Knicks Owner Dolan Emerges as New York’s Biggest GOP Donor This Cycle

Knicks and MSG owner James Dolan has become the largest GOP donor in New York this cycle, giving about $1.4 million to committees backing Bruce Blakeman and funneling millions into pro-Blakeman super PACs after previously backing Hochul; the spending is aimed at mounting a credible gubernatorial challenge and shoring up swing-seat GOP races, even as Dolan’s ties to MSG raise questions about the intersection of business interests and politics.
