Former President Trump heads to Democratic-dominated California on Thursday evening to kick off a three-day fundraising swing as he builds resources for his 2024 re-election rematch with President Biden.
The former president will headline a fundraising dinner hosted by tech investors David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, two of the heaviest hitters in Silicon Valley and co-hosts of the hot "All-In" podcast.
Tickets at the sold-out event range from $50,000 per person to get in the door all the way up to $500,000 per couple for special access as part of the host committee. Sources tell Fox News the event is sold out.
"I think it is just very telling; I would never have predicted that you'd have a sold-out fundraiser targeting tech leaders in Pacific Heights and for a Republican candidate," Harmeet Dhillon, a Republican National Committee (RNC) member from California, told Fox News.
Dhillon, a longtime Bay Area-based attorney who's part of Trump's legal coalition, is attending the fundraiser.
