NY-GOV: Blakeman (R) to attend Game 3 of NBA Finals with Trump [View all]

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman will be at game three of the NBA Finals Monday night to cheer on the Knicks with President Donald Trump.

The Nassau County executive is expected to enjoy the game with the president from a Madison Square Garden suite, but first, the pair plan to sit down and have dinner to discuss a range of issues.

“We might have a hamburger together,” Blakeman told City & State on Saturday from his box seat at the Belmont Stakes at the Saratoga Race Course.

A spokesperson for Blakeman’s campaign did not immediately explain how Blakeman was paying for his ticket, but said it was not a gift from MSG CEO James Dolan. Trump has said that Dolan invited him to the game. Even the cheapest tickets to the game have been listed for more than $10,000.
