New York Jets owner and billionaire businessman Woody Johnson stood in support behind former President Trump in South Carolina after Trump was quickly projected the winner of the state’s primary.

Johnson, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom during the Trump administration, was on stage alongside his wife Suzanne behind Trump as the former president delivered a speech after his quick victory in the Palmetto State primary on Feb. 24.

Johnson, a member of the founding family of Johnson & Johnson, has previously expressed support for the former president during the 2024 campaign.

"Americans remember how good it was or how much better it was on the border, and inflation, and gas prices, and grocery prices, all that, during the Trump administration, and they want to get back there," Johnson told News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo earlier in February.

"So I think the most important thing is getting the former president back in the White House, which looks like it’s happening."
