Shocking turnout for Trump in ‘liberal San Francisco’ as attendees more than DOUBLE fundraising goal
June 8, 2024 | Kevin Haggerty
A noticeable “enthusiasm gap” stunned in the Bay Area as Silicon Valley stepped up with a “tremendous turnout” toward the race for the White House.
“And if that’s in liberal San Francisco, what does that tell you about the rest of the country?”
Making inroads unseen in decades, San Francisco’s Golden Gate cracked open for former President Donald Trump Thursday when the GOP leader attended a fundraising event. Like recent events in New York and New Jersey, expectations were readily topped according to one of the hosts, Craft Ventures co-founder David Sacks.
The entrepreneur joined Fox Business host Larry Kudlow Friday on his eponymous program and explained where the bar had been set by him and co-host Chamath Palihapitiya, founder and CEO of Social Capital, and just how much support for the Republican had cleared it.
“When we agreed to do this event, we started off — the question was whether we could just raise $5 million, and that was the goal because as you well know, the Bay Area is sort of a liberal bastion. And so we thought that $5 million might be a big lift,” Sacks detailed on “Kudlow.”
Instead, the night ended reportedly raking in more than $12 million for Trump as a “tremendous turnout” of around 100 people showed up to contribute to the campaign. “We couldn’t fit one more seat in the place. We were completely sold out.”
