President Joe Biden infamously hosted a fundraiser in the Hamptons following his debate against former President Donald Trump.
“Everyone going [to the fundraiser] is extremely disappointed. Everyone paid in advance… so it could be an opportunity to encourage him to drop out,” a long time Biden donor told the New York Post in June. Tickets for the event reportedly ran between $3,300 and $250k.
Weeks later, Biden dropped out of the race.
Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) is set to host a competing fundraiser in the Hamptons next weekend with tickets starting at $25k, according to a copy of the invitation obtained by ABC News.
