Former President Trump hosted some of his top financial backers at what was described as an intimate gathering at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday night.
The event is the first major fundraiser this cycle for MAGA Inc., the top super PAC supporting Trump as he makes his third straight presidential run.
Several other potential and declared presidential candidates are ramping up the 2024 fundraising race this week.
On Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will kick off a weekend retreat with roughly 150 of his top donors at the Four Seasons resort in Palm Beach, just a few miles away from Mar-a-Lago. The popular conservative governor, who remains on the 2024 sidelines but is rumored to be considering a presidential campaign launch later this year, is expected to share data from his overwhelming re-election victory last November and his spotlight his agenda ahead.
Additionally, a handful of actual or likely Republican presidential candidates are gathering in Austin, Texas on Friday to headline a conference of top donors organized by Karl Rove, the longtime GOP strategist and top political adviser to then-President George W. Bush.
Former South Carolina governor and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, who last week declared her candidacy for president, is among those speaking at the conference, which will help raise money for a registration initiative known as the Texas Voter Engagement Project.
Also addressing the donors are four other well-known Republicans seriously mulling White House runs — former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a 2016 GOP presidential contender.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, another rising star in the party, will also speak at the gathering, which is modeled on similar event Rove held in 2021.

elon musk for president 2024...
our turn to install an ineligible african-american in the white hospice...
Is that Paul Ryan lumping Trump and Haley as non-contenders?
Any 2024 GOP Presidential candidate who supports the Ukraine War will NOT get my vote.
Until voter integrity is restored, this is all a waste of time and doners are throwing away their money.
It’s idiocy.
It doesn’t seem like Trump is clearing the field.
Long time before votes are cast and debates start. Trump didnt start the mine sweeping until then in 2016.
Musk is a China shill, he wrote an article for their censorship agency. He’s far more compromised by them than any other major American figure with tens of billions of dollars at stake in the country.

The more candidates there are, the better it is for Trump. He shouldn’t want a clear field.
What looser is Faux News going to back this time?
I’m thinking a Pence-Niki ticket.
The GOP can then loose every state except for maybe Florida.
Just saying that they don’t seem afraid of him if so many are getting in.
