Vance hosts high-profile fundraiser prior to Trump's inauguration.

JD Vance, as Vice President-elect, hosted a high-priced fundraiser with prominent figures and donors from President-elect Trump's political circle.

A $250,000-a-plate fundraiser, which was confirmed to Planet Chronicle by a source familiar with the details, took place on Wednesday at Le Bilboquet, a French restaurant in Palm Beach, Florida, located near Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, which has long served as his political headquarters.

The president-elect's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was present at the event. He is a close friend and political ally of Vance and strongly supported the elder Trump's decision to name Vance, a junior senator from Ohio, as his running mate for the 2024 Republican Party's national ticket.

According to the source, billionaire investor John Paulson, tech entrepreneur David Sacks, and tech and cryptocurrency titans were among the number of Trump mega donors who attended the event.

The funds raised at the fundraiser, expected to exceed seven figures, will be used by MAGA Inc., the leading super PAC that backed Trump during his 2024 campaign to regain the presidency.

As Trump's term-limited successor, Vance is expected to inherit the America First movement and MAGA world of fervent supporters. He is likely to be the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination in 2028, following the 2026 midterm elections.

Vance's chances of becoming the best-equipped politician to carry on Trump's legacy in 2028 will likely increase by hosting and headlining top dollar fundraisers that attract leading donors in Trump's political circle.

Politico was first to report news of the Vance fundraiser.
