While we argue, JD Vance raises $4.2 million in Silicon Valley [View all]
Vice President JD Vance headlined an RNC fundraiser on Thursday night in Palo Alto, California, at the residence of influential investor and All-In Podcast host Chamath Palihapitiya, raking in $4.2 million for the Republican Party, a source familiar with the dinner tells Axios.
Why it matters: Vance, who worked in venture capital before becoming a U.S. senator from Ohio, has always had strong ties to Silicon Valley and the tech world.
The dinner was co-hosted by John Underwood of Goldman Sachs. Attendees included Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong, a popular voice of economic freedom on X, and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan.
About two dozen supporters paid $250,000 each.
