Trump’s V.P. Race Is Heating Up

Former President Donald Trump transitions from the legal proceedings in New York City to a gathering of Republican donors in South Florida on Friday. His day commences in a Manhattan courtroom where he faces nearly three dozen state felony charges related to falsifying business records concerning hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election, allegedly to conceal an affair. Trump vehemently denies these accusations.

Following the courtroom session, Trump heads to Palm Beach, Florida, where he assumes the spotlight at the Republican National Committee’s Spring Donor Retreat. The event, closed to the press, takes place at the Four Seasons Hotel and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. With the 2024 election rematch against President Biden looming, Trump aims to bridge the fundraising disparity between himself and Biden.

The gathering features prominent Republican figures, including potential running mates like Donalds, Vance, and Rubio, along with Burgum and Noem, among others. Also in attendance are key Trump allies such as Stefanik and Ramaswamy, as well as former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

While speculation swirls around possible vice presidential selections, insiders stress that raising money remains the main focus of the weekend. Although it’s unclear if Trump will hold individual meetings with potential running mates, the event underscores the urgency of bolstering financial support for the upcoming presidential race.

Brian Hughes, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, emphasizes the opportunity for leaders aligned with the “America First” agenda to rally behind Trump and counter Biden’s presidency. Meanwhile, the Biden team criticizes Trump’s absence from the campaign trail, characterizing his engagement with rich donors as evasive and disconnected from ordinary voters.

Amid the political maneuvering, controversy ensues over Noem’s forthcoming book, which includes a controversial anecdote about euthanizing a family pet, drawing additional scrutiny to the gathering’s participants.
