Trump was invited to headline the House GOP's big spring fundraiser in Dallas, but had to finally cancel because of his scheduled trial in Manhattan.
The event, dubbed the Majority Gala, is the National Republican Campaign Committee’s biggest fundraiser so far this election cycle. The hope of GOP brass was to get Trump, their presumptive presidential nominee, to headline the April 23 event and juice fundraising interest, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Even though Scott is just a senator and not the nominee—or even the vice presidential nominee—it will still cost guests $50,000 to enjoy a “photo opportunity” with Scott, according to the invitation. With Trump in court Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, with only Wednesday and weekends off, normal campaigning will be extremely difficult for him until the trial concludes.
“I should be right now in Pennsylvania, Florida, many other states, North Carolina, Georgia, campaigning,” Trump said outside the courthouse on Monday, referring to the usual campaign schedule for a general election.and the Democrats’ entire strategy to defeat President Trump is to confine him to a court room.”
