DEAL - President Donald Trump will appear at a fundraiser along the Jersey Shore this weekend, appearing alongside a who's who of Republican luminaries forking over as much as $500,000 per head.
An invite for the event advertises a reception with Trump, 78, for attendees who donate at least $3,300 per person. Photo opportunities are available for $50,000 per person, while a seat at a roundtable with the former president are available for $150,000.
For $250,000, you can be listed as a co-host of the event. For $500,000, you'll be named a host of the event.
The invitation, sent to major Republican donors in recent weeks, lists the fundraiser's hosts as casino mogul Steve Wynn and his wife, Andrea, New York real estate developer and music executive Joe Cayre and the Chera family.
FLASHBACK: Trump promises Iran deal at Long Branch fundraiser
Trump has visited the Chera family's home in the Elberon neighborhood of Long Branch during both his successful 2016 presidential campaign and his failed 2020 re-election bid.
Stanley Chera, the family's patriarch, was a real estate mogul and close friend of Trump.
He died from COVID-19 complications in April 2020.
It's not immediately clear if the July 28 fundraiser will again be held at the Chera home. The invite lists the event as taking place in Deal. The Chera home is near the Deal border, but the Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday evening informed pilots of a no-fly zone around Elberon on July 28.
Among the listed co-hosts of the event is Charles Kushner, the former Port Authority commissioner and real estate developer whose son, Jared, is Trump's son-in-law. The elder Kushner was prosecuted by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and convicted of making illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering.
Trump pardoned Charles Kushner in December 2020.
Other co-hosts for the fundraiser include:
- U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), House Republican Conference chair
- Lee Zeldin, former New York congressman and Republican gubernatorial candidate
- Lynda Blanchard, former U.S. ambassador to Slovenia
- John Catsimatidis, former Republican candidate for New York City mayor
The fundraiser, scheduled for July 28, comes just one week after President Joe Biden ended his re-election bid and amid a groundswell of financial support for Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, who has already won the endorsement of enough delegates to secure the party's nomination. The Harris campaign has raised more than $100 million since Biden endorsed her on Sunday, the campaign announced.
