Former president Donald Trump will appear at a fundraising dinner on Tuesday evening in Manhattan, a hop and a skip away from where he’s been stuck in a courtroom for his first criminal trial, according to an event invitation reviewed by National Review.
Fundraising tickets for Tuesday evening’s event cost a minimum of $100,000. Those who contribute $844,600 will get a photo, VIP dinner seating, and an “Our Journey Together” coffee-table book signed by Trump, according to the invite.
Also expected to attend tonight’s “Trump 47” fundraiser in New York City are North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, Senator Tim Scott (R., S.C.), and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, sources familiar with the matter tell NR.
Burgum and Ramaswamy traveled to New York earlier Tuesday to show solidarity with the former president during his hush-money trial. They join a number of Trump surrogates who have made a show in recent days of defending the presumptive GOP nominee outside of the courthouse while his trial goes on, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senators Rick Scott (R., Fla.), Tommy Tuberville (R., Ala.), and J. D. Vance (R., Ohio), and Representatives Cory Mills (R., Fla.) and Byron Donalds (R., Fla.).
