The President Donald Trump campaign announced on Friday that it will be hosting an Alabama-focused virtual fundraiser featuring Donald Trump, Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
The younger Trump, who has previously visited the Yellowhammer State in person, cited the role played by Alabama in the election four years ago as a reason why he wanted to reconnect with its residents within the means available.
“Alabamians were there for us the entire way in 2016–from the stadium events in Mobile and Madison, to the arena event in Birmingham, and everywhere in between,” Trump Jr. said in a statement from the campaign. “Since social distancing won’t allow us to come in person right now, this virtual event is the best way for us to spend time with the people of Alabama, who are going to play a huge role in getting the President re-elected this year. Kimberly and I are really looking forward to this fundraiser and are personally asking for everyone to pitch in.”
The event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12 at 3:00 p.m.
“This event is a great opportunity for Alabamians to show our support for the President,” said Cliff Sims, a former Trump White House aide who now serves as an Alabama co-chair for the Trump Victory Finance Committee. “Democrats and their allies in the media are doing everything they can to tear him down. He’s fighting for us, so we need to make sure we’re doing our part to fight for him.”
There are various levels of support available, ranging from $100 for Event Participant and $500 to be listed as a Sponsor, up to $1,000 for co-hosts and $2,800 for Co-Chairs.
Tickets for the event can be purchased through the WinRed website.
