Donald Trump is gearing up to drop a political bombshell right in the middle of the Republican National Convention, but he’s keeping his cards very close to his chest. Fundraising events are already in full swing, with folks lining up for the privilege of rubbing elbows with Trump’s yet-to-be-revealed running mate. Rumors are swirling, but the actual reveal will happen when it has the most punch—just in time to set off fireworks in Milwaukee.
Dubbed the Trump 47 committee, this political powerhouse is staging at least two major fundraising events with the mysterious veep-in-waiting. The details, dug up by the Washington Examiner, hint at serious cash flowing into the campaign coffers. The “Strength in Unity Reception” scheduled for July 17 will have the GOP faithful swarming Milwaukee like bees to honey. Donors willing to part with $50,000 get a coveted roundtable seat, but high rollers who bring in $100,000 get the photo op to immortalize the occasion. Not to be outdone, the “Freedom First Event” on the following day asks for a cool $200,000 for roundtable access and up to $300,000 for the prized photo.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is floundering like a fish out of water. After a jaw-droppingly bad debate against Trump, Biden is facing calls from within his own party to step aside. Some Democrats are seriously considering elevating Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket—a move so desperate it practically hands the election to Trump. As the left tears itself apart, Trump sits back, biding his time and watching the circus unfold while keeping mum about his vice-presidential pick.
Trump’s strategy is clear: He’s waiting to drop the VP bombshell until just before July 17, making sure the timing is perfect to overshadow whatever clown show is happening on the other side. The Republican convention kicks off on July 15, and by the time it wraps up, the GOP will be a well-oiled machine, ready to steamroll the Biden-Harris disaster tandem.
The shortlist of potential running mates reads like a who’s who of conservative rock stars. Former HUD secretary Ben Carson, North Dakota’s Governor Doug Burgum, and Senators Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, and J.D. Vance are all in the running. Then there are House Representatives Elise Stefanik, Byron Donalds, and Wesley Hunt, any of whom would be a solid addition to the ticket.
Brace yourselves, America. The Trump campaign is gearing up to take this election by storm while Biden and his cronies are rearranging the Titanic deck chairs. The GOP convention in Milwaukee is shaping up to be a pivotal moment for the nation, and those high-stakes fundraising events could very well set the stage for Trump’s triumphant return to the White House.
