Hillary Clinton are officially the two major party candidates for U.S. President now. Will top fundsters like Fidelity chief
Abby Johnson and Putnam chief
Bob Reynolds support Clinton, Trump, or perhaps go third party?

previously supported Republican Jeb Bush, and Johnson
also supported Bush. Fido's political action committee also donated to two other Republican candidates, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
Yet Bush, Paul, and Rubio have all dropped out of the race, and Trump and Clinton are the official Republican and Democratic nominees, respectively. Beth Healy of the
Boston Globe highlights how different business leaders in Beantown are reacting to the narrowed presidential field, with some still on the fence, some leaning to Clinton, some to the Libertarians, and some to Trump.

Reynolds, for his part, now tells the
Globe that he is "focused on the House and Senate campaigns." As for Johnson, the
Globe writes, "it's not yet known whom she'll support next."
