Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a major fundraiser in the Hamptons on Wednesday evening, raising over $5 million for the Republican National Committee, according to Axios. The high-profile event, which took place at the home of Omeed Malik, attracted around 35 attendees, including notable figures such as Donald Trump Jr., Shayne Coplan, Garrett Ventry, Brandon Lutnick, Zach Witkoff, and Chris Buskirk.
The evening began with a reception, during which attendees contributed a total of $100,000 to the RNC. The subsequent dinner, attended by approximately 20 people, saw donations of $250,000 from the participants. As the Republican National Committee's finance chair, Vice President Harris has been actively hosting numerous fundraising events across the country since assuming the role last year.
Her extensive network of relationships, cultivated through her position, is expected to be crucial in building the necessary fundraising infrastructure should she decide to run for president in 2028. The decision on her 2028 plans is anticipated to be made following the November midterm elections.
