Former President Donald Trump’s popularity is on the rise in regions of the country where it may have once seemed unimaginable. This was evident last week when he raised almost $12 million at a fundraiser in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s backyard, according to the Daily Wire.
The fundraiser was held at the residence of venture investors David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya in Pacific Heights. Attendees included affluent figures from the tech industry, with the option to pay between $50,000 and $500,000 depending on the benefits. The event attracted numerous cryptocurrency investors and venture capitalists.
During the fundraiser, Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee, described the atmosphere as relaxed, and the former president was seen cracking jokes about AI. It was a memorable and enjoyable evening for all in attendance.
Sacks, who played a significant role in organizing the event, credited JD Vance for the idea. He stated, “this all started with JD Vance calling and asking if we could host an event for President Trump. Without JD’s advice and encouragement, this would never have happened.”
Sacks also took to X to share his detailed explanation of why he endorses the former president. He highlighted four vital issues where he believes President Trump can lead the nation back on track. Here is an excerpt from his post:
“Why I’m Backing President Trump As many press accounts have reported, I’m hosting a fundraising event for President Donald J. Trump at my home in San Francisco this evening. Over the last couple of years, I have hosted events for presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as several Congressional figures in both major parties. I give to many but endorse few.
Today, I am giving my endorsement to our 45th President, Donald J. Trump, to be our 47th President. My reasons rest on four main issues that I think are vital to American prosperity, security, and stability – issues where the Biden administration has veered badly off course and where I believe President Trump can lead us back.”
This surge in support for Donald Trump showcases the changing political landscape in America, where unexpected regions are embracing his leadership and policies. It will be interesting to see how this trend unfolds in the coming months and years.
