The 2024 US Presidential elections are drawing closer and the campaigns are in full swing. There have been many advances in the past few days and it looks like several business personalities have also entered the game, helping their favorite candidate to win and assume control of the Oval Office. Tony Khan’s father also supported Donald Trump once as per resurfacing reports.
The new PACs were created to fund the different political campaigns to build up to the elections in November and Shahid Khan, along with an AEW personality, have publicly helped the cause with their money even before these elections.

Linda McMahon, Vince McMahon‘s wife, was also a part of Donald Trump’s political team and formerly the United States Administrator of the Small Business Administration. Given the fact that Vince McMahon and Trump enjoyed good relations together in the past, it would make sense that Linda would want to support the former US President. She donated $10 Million to the Make America Great Again PAC according to the Federal Election Commission records. While this may have been expected by fans given their past, Shahid Khan, owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, also donated a million dollars to the cause back in 2016.
The Pakistani-American businessman hasn’t reportedly funded any campaign in recent years. However, back in 2020, there were records of Chris Jericho making his share of contributions to different presidential campaigns for Donald Trump. Funding in installments, the wrestling legend donated $17,740 in 2020 alone.

He opened up the RNC with a personal text that Donald Trump had sent him after he accepted the request to give the introduction to the 2024 political convention. In the text that he read to the rest of the attendees, Trump thanked him for accepting the request while also adding how he was delivering the speech for a bigger cause and for the country, fitting the context of the convention perfectly. Nevertheless, it looks like the presidential candidate has several noteworthy candidates backing his cause to assume the most powerful office in the world.
