PALM BEACH, Fla. (NewsNation) — With dueling events this weekend, some of the nation’s biggest GOP donors will have to choose between former President Donald Trump or former presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Trump is expected to attend a major joint fundraiser between his campaign and the RNC on Saturday. A campaign source confirmed to NewsNation that it will be hosted at a private residence in Palm Beach.
Expectations are high for Trump to offset President Joe Biden’s recent $25 million fundraiser, with the Trump campaign anticipating an estimated $43 million fundraising haul Saturday. That’s an effort that could be hindered by another just about an hour north.
Fight Right was one of two PACs DeSantis had backing him during his failed 2024 presidential bid. Fight Right officials tell NewsNation the investor retreat has been scheduled for more than two months and had nothing to do with Trump’s fundraiser.
The PAC is hosting the weekend event to thank donors who contributed to DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign.
An itinerary shows DeSantis will speak at The Future of Florida panel on Friday. On Saturday morning, investors are expected to provide feedback on what went wrong with DeSantis’ presidential campaign. Florida first lady Casey DeSantis will host a lunch that afternoon, followed by a “Fireside Chat” with DeSantis on Saturday night.
Sources close to the Trump campaign tell NewsNation they anticipate donors will skip out on the governor’s Saturday remarks at the investor retreat to attend Trump’s fundraiser in Palm Beach.
Additionally, a Trump campaign official said the DeSantis-aligned event is “competing with the entire Republican cause” as GOP leaders push to unify donors behind their presumptive presidential nominee.

Ron DeSanctus at it AGAIN.
Every time you post a nice positive article about RDS, and you do it often, you post an insult about him.
What’s with you? Do you hate the good things Governor DeSantis is doing? Are you still butt-hurt that he campaigned against Trump?
Have you seen a head shrinker for your condition?
Which one was scheduled first?

Are you still butt-hurt that Trump beat Rhonda Santis?
Who dropped out first?
DeSanctus shouldn’t be doing anymore “investor” retreats AT THIS TIME.
I hear Meatball invited Haley and Karl Rove.
The only reason this is public, must be because DeStupid was asked to move his event, and refused.
Normally, politicians tried to accomodate the Presidential Campaign and actually help, not hinder.
DeStupid doesn’t have an election this year. this isn’t urgent. He is just fundraising for some future supposed campaign. And acting like the @sshole he has always been.
Exactly.
Desantis sucks.
What’s that “Fight Right” logo supposed to mean?
The Fanjuls, Catsimatidas, and Steve Wynn could more than beat Biden’s 25 mill... themselves and a few of their people.
WTH is an “Investor Retreat”
Investor in what? Ronnie’s 2028 Run?
“What’s that “Fight Right” logo supposed to mean? “
Fight Right, and Kiss Left ?
If you'd bothered to read the article you yourself posted, and clearly you didn't, you'd have learned that DeSantis' event was scheduled over two months ago by his two PACs and is nothing more than a "thank you" to the donors who supported him.
“Ron DeSanctus at it AGAIN.”
Why did Trump schedule a conflicting date?
WTH is an “Investor Retreat”?
conservative98 at it again! Can’t get over DDS!
