Potential Trump Republican running mates Doug Burgum, Tim Scott, JD Vance, Kristi Noem and Vivek Ramaswamy help the former president raise money in 2024 rematch with President Biden
As they audition for the role of Donald Trump's running mate, potential vice presidential nominees are showing off their ability to help the former president raise much-needed campaign cash.
The gathering is being hosted in Manhattan by billionaire GOP donors Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald; hedge fund investor John Paulson; and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. Tickets to attend the dinner go for up to $844,600. The fundraiser is part of a series of high-level events and small-dollar grassroots efforts the Trump campaign estimates will haul in roughly $25 million this week.
On Wednesday, Trump will team up with Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, another contender for running mate, at a fundraising luncheon in Cincinnati. A week and a half ago, Vance, Scott, Burgum, Noem and a handful of other high-profile GOP politicians also considered potential vice presidential nominees all joined Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, at the Republican National Committee's annual spring donor retreat. A number of these fundraising events include major GOP donors who remain uncommitted to Trump.
The trial is attracting potential running mates. Vance showed up at the courthouse in support of Trump Monday. Burgum, Ramaswamy and another possible contender — Rep. Bryon Donalds of Florida — were there Tuesday. 'We're all here today because of the circus of this trial,' Burgum told reporters Tuesday.
