Former President Donald Trump is seeking support from Silicon Valley and former donors of Ron DeSantis to bolster his campaign finances and narrow the fundraising gap with President Joe Biden. Venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya are reportedly in discussions with the Trump campaign to host a fundraiser at Sacks' San Francisco residence in June. The event may also include a podcast taping with the duo.
Sacks, a co-founder of Craft Ventures, previously supported DeSantis' presidential bid before the Florida governor withdrew from the race. Additionally, Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus VR, is set to host a fundraiser for Trump in Newport Beach, California.
