Trump, Harris to hold fundraisers in San Francisco next week

Former president Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris will be making Bay Area fundraising appearances in San Francisco next week, according to media sources and a copy of one of the invitations seen online.

Tech billionaire David Sacks and his wife, Chamath Palihapitiya are hosting the June 6 fundraiser for Trump, according to the invitation. The invite that circulated online did not state where the affair will be held.

The fundraiser was organized by Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, according to Axios, which first reported it.

That gathering will happen one day after Harris is scheduled to appear at a function hosted by Manny’s Cafe, located on 16th Street in San Francisco. An Instagram account for the cafe announced that news but did not specify the venue or the time the fundraiser would happen.

Trump became the first president in American history ever to be convicted of a crime on Thursday, when a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 felonies charged against him in a scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election illegally through hush-money payments to an adult film actress.

Tickets to the Trump dinner are $300,000 per person and $500,000 per couple, according to the invitation shared online. A $50,000 brings an invite to the reception but not to the dinner.

The former president is set to be sentenced July 11, four days before the start of the Republican National Convention. Trump is expected to be the party’s nominee to oppose President Joe Biden in the November election. Trump has not selected a running mate to be his vice president.
