Former President Donald Trump continues to make headlines, and his recent fundraising event in Nancy Pelosi’s backyard highlights his growing popularity in unexpected regions of the country. The event, hosted by venture investors David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, raised a staggering $12 million with the attendance of affluent tech industry figures.
The fundraiser, held at the Pacific Heights residence of Sacks and Palihapitiya, attracted a diverse crowd of well-known cryptocurrency investors and venture capitalists. The tickets ranged from $50,000 to $500,000, depending on the perks. The fact that such an event was hosted in the heart of liberal San Francisco speaks volumes about the former president’s appeal.
