Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) privately met with billionaire donor Ron Burkle as he considers possibly running for president in 2020, CNBC reported Thursday.
CNBC reported that sources said that the two men had met in Los Angeles last month. However, it’s unclear what the pair discussed.
The publication also reported that Kasich hosted a speaking event at Burkle’s home. The governor spoke about leadership and police reforms during his talk and a Q&A session, but the donor did not attend the event.
