Donald Trump will hold a fundraising rally in New Jersey later this month, with the proceeds going to help Chris Christie pay off his remaining debts from his presidential campaign.
The rally is set for May 19, at the Lawrenceville National Guard Armory, with attendees asked to pay $200 per person for tickets, according to the invitation.
Trump said he would self-finance his presidential campaign but after he became the presumptive nominee this week, he has begun to build out a fundraising infrastructure, including naming a finance chairman.
Christie — who endorsed Trump in February — reported $400,690 in debts as of the end of March, with $154,305 in cash left to pay off those bills. The New Jersey governor's fundraising slowed to a trickle after he ended his own presidential bid following the New Hampshire primary.
He raised less than $42,000 in March.
