Trump hosts private fundraiser in Woodside, San Mateo County

Former President Donald Trump is set to host a private fundraiser in Woodside, San Mateo County, on Friday. The event is designed for high-profile donors, with ticket prices ranging from $150,000 for individuals to $500,000 per couple. Additional opportunities for engagement, such as photo opportunities, are priced between $35,000 and $70,000, while regular attendees will pay between $3,300 and $10,000. This significant financial commitment underscores the importance of fundraising in Trump's current presidential campaign. Coinciding with the fundraiser, a rally organized by the San Mateo County Republican Party, titled "We the People California," will take place starting at 9 a.m. Participants are encouraged to gather at El Camino Park in Palo Alto before marching to Woodside to greet Trump’s motorcade. This rally aims to mobilize grassroots support and demonstrate enthusiasm for Trump's candidacy. Groups such as Moms for America are expected to participate in the rally, highlighting the involvement of various organizations in supporting Trump. The event serves not only as a fundraising opportunity but also as a platform for rallying supporters and energizing the Republican base ahead of the upcoming election. The combination of a high-stakes fundraiser and a public rally illustrates the dual approach of engaging both wealthy donors and grassroots supporters. This strategy is crucial for Trump's campaign as he seeks to solidify his position within the Republican Party and attract a broad coalition of supporters as the election approaches.
