Former President Donald Trump continues to gain popularity in unexpected parts of the country, proving his appeal to a diverse range of individuals. Just last week, Trump raised an astounding $12 million at a fundraiser in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s backyard. The event was attended by affluent figures from the tech industry, showcasing the growing support for the former president.

The fundraiser, hosted at the Pacific Heights residence of venture investors David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, was a remarkable success. Sacks and Palihapitiya, co-hosts of the popular podcast “All-In,” welcomed attendees who paid anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000 based on the benefits they received. Notable guests included renowned cryptocurrency investors and venture capitalists.

During the event, Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee, described Trump as “relaxed, happy, and cracking jokes about AI.” This highlights the former president’s ability to connect with people and create an enjoyable atmosphere.

Sacks, in his address at the fundraiser, credited JD Vance for initiating the idea of hosting an event for President Trump. Sacks emphasized the importance of Vance’s advice and encouragement, acknowledging that without him, this successful gathering would never have taken place.

In a comprehensive endorsement of the former president, Sacks explained his reasons for backing President Trump in a post on X. He cited four key issues crucial to American prosperity, security, and stability where he believes the Biden administration has veered off track. Sacks firmly believes that Trump can lead the country back on the right path.

This unexpected surge in support for Donald Trump demonstrates his ability to connect with individuals across various backgrounds and regions. It is a testament to his appeal and influence that continues to resonate with a wide range of Americans.
