Former President Trump plans to host a private fundraiser in Florida next week during the Republican presidential debate, two people familiar with the matter said. This will be the first time he will not hold a public backstage event. The fundraiser will be held at Hallandale Beach for President Trump’s Joint Fundraising Committee, which includes both the Trump campaign and leadership PAC, according to one of the people familiar with the plans.
The event will be hosted by real estate developers Steve Witkoff, Howard Lorber, and Kristen Bell. In a fundraising email that President Trump sent to supporters this week, he asked the Community Chest Committee to enter a contest to be a VIP guest at the Hallandale Beach event, which the email described as an “end of the year” event.
Recipients were urged to donate. Event reception. Mr. Trump missed the first three Republican debates and is scheduled to debate again next Wednesday, but some of his rivals are expected to take the stage in Alabama. NewsNation is moderating the discussion. During the first Republican debate, a recorded interview between Trump and conservative commentator
Tucker Carlson was aired on social media platform X. During the second debate, Trump held a campaign rally at an auto supplier in Michigan, and another in Miami, near the venue of the third debate. I asked why the camp decided not to hold a public event this time, but I did not receive a response.
