Republican strategist Karl Rove may be moving to help bankroll Ben Carson in the presidential race.

Reports say Rove helped to set up a meeting between Carson's campaign and billionaire Steve Wynn, but additional details were not immediately clear. Wynn, who owns casinos and hotels across the country, has contributed a combined $30,000 to political action committees associated with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in this election cycle.

Ben Carson presently ranks fourth in the Washington Examiner's power rankings.
