President Donald Trump Gains Unexpected Support, Raises Millions in Nancy Pelosi’s Hometown
Donald Trump is gaining traction in regions of the country where his popularity might once have seemed unlikely.
This growing support was evident last week when the former president attended a high-profile fundraiser in San Francisco, raising close to $12 million, as reported by the Daily Wire.
Hosted in the upscale Pacific Heights neighborhood, this event was organized by tech industry heavyweights David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya.
Both Sacks and Palihapitiya are known for their podcast, “All-In,” which has gained significant popularity, especially within tech and venture capital circles.
The event brought together prominent figures from Silicon Valley, including several well-known cryptocurrency investors and venture capitalists, with ticket prices ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 depending on the level of access and perks.
Many attendees expressed enthusiasm for Trump’s policies and saw his leadership as beneficial to both business and the broader economy.
During the evening, Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee, described Trump as “relaxed, happy, and cracking jokes about AI.”
This lighter side of Trump seemed to resonate with attendees, many of whom were from the tech sector where AI and cryptocurrency are major interests.
Trump’s presence in California, a traditionally Democratic stronghold, reflects his ongoing appeal to a broader audience, including high-profile tech investors and entrepreneurs.
This latest development highlights how Trump’s influence is expanding into previously less receptive areas, signaling a potentially significant shift in political alliances and financial backing as he continues to campaign for his return to the White House.
