Vice president-elect JD Vance hosted a who’s who of Trump-world types Wednesday at a ritzy, $250,000-a-plate fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, according to a person who attended the event and was granted anonymity to disclose details about it.
The event, hosted at French restaurant Le Bilboquet, is an early example of Vance’s desire to position himself as heir-apparent to Trump and his “America First” political movement. Donald Trump Jr., who was key in his father’s

“paying $100 a plate to see Biden or Kamala”
If they allowed everybody one free throw of the plate at Biden or Kamala that might be worth it.
Lol.
Big money needs to be removed from politics and government.
Hey Politico, why don't you put your nascent interest in fiduciary responsibility to good use and find out where Kamalalala Ding Dong laundered her billion dollars?
Biden and Kamala always had tons of donors and stupid RAT hollywood type people paying $100 plus a plate.
What they fail at is getting working class and everyday American support.
What’s he raising money for? He’s starting a four year term as VP in a few days.
As Christian I can forgive human transgression.
Forgiving political stupidity is another matter.
Vance was clearly telling the disgraced pervert Charlie Rose what he thought Charlie wanted to hear.
Same deal last week with Never Trumper Shannon Bream.
Specifying terms of the pardons that were NEVER so specified by Trump.
If you guessed I'm an unapologetic Never Vancer, you'd be right.
what I took from the Vance J6 pardons talk, was that the antifa trannies with the baseball bats wouldn’t be pardoned and I agree.
Why? So the corrupt liberal press would be all we’d hear?
Gimme a break. If our side didn’t get donations demcorats would live off the liberal press, NPR, PBS, ABC, CBS and what would we have?
That’s as bad as ‘term limit’ elected officials ...
What w need to do is term limit bureaucrats and ‘civil servants’ m DC.. Six years working in DC is PLENTY for civil servants 0 they can move out into the rest of the country after 6 years in DC. Same with ‘department heads’ and Congressional aids... 6 years is plenty.
And they still spent $1 on the recently concluded presidential campaign for every $2.49 that Kamala’s team spent. And that didn’t even count the in kind contributions from the enemedia, just what was legally required to be reported.
What I took is that it is Trump’s call to make and Trump’s job to announce the specifics and whatever Trump decides will be fine with me.
Maybe he was acting on Trump’s instructions and floating a trial balloon, but I doubt it, Trump rarely lets other folk do the talking for him.
Must edit before pressing post... Sorry about all the errors.
If we can’t get rid of the big money I have a Plan B.
The politicians should be like race car drivers—wear the decals of their big sponsors on all their clothes!
What errors???? PRICE? VANCE?
iphone is horrible at the auto-editing. Add that to my big Irish fingers
I think that's how that works.
I love JD Vance, but if I am paying $250K, I expect *food* on my plate.
Trump/Vance have exactly two years until the makeup of Congress gets shuffled again. They already know that, in order to accomplish anything, they have to hit the ground running -- and they've been preparing for it for the last month. Seems that the fundraising can wait a bit -- and, in fact, might even net more funds raised after people get to start seeing the results in a month or two.
I actually think Trump is a smart business man and has learned to let the underlings and apprentices float the trial balloons and then he gets a pulse and stays above the fray. Every great ceo has a hatchet man
Think of the fundraiser as getting the money tied up so he can have the congress he wants in two years instead of the usual shellacking the president party gets. This is pregame
