On Board

"The 70-year-old real estate developer from suburban Pittsburgh revels in President Trump’s body blows to the status quo. So if Trump says the election was rigged, she’s onboard."

I understand the meaning of the underlined phrase by looking at the context of the sentence. However, I googled and find no such definition of "onboard" that would fit here except one in the free dictionary.

"Participating in or supporting an effort": I contacted my sisters to make sure they were onboard before I booked the beach house for our vacation.

Is that how this adjective is used in the above sentence?

I would write on board, not onboard.
