Overview

• Vice President JD Vance is headlining his first major fundraiser for the Republican National Committee in New York City on March 31, 2025.
• This marks Vance's debut event as RNC finance chair, a role he took on earlier this month to strengthen GOP fundraising efforts.
• The fundraiser includes high-ticket contributions, with host committee slots priced at $250,000 per couple and a lower tier at $100,000.
• Republicans face significant fundraising challenges ahead of the 2026 midterms, having underperformed Democrats in the 2024 election cycle.
• Vance’s dual role as vice president and RNC finance chair is seen as a strategic move to enhance his donor network and position him as a contender for the 2028 presidential race.
