Republican VP Candidate JD Vance Raises Funds in Silicon Valley with Tech Entrepreneur Mike Belshe
Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, is making waves in Silicon Valley as he gears up for his second fundraising visit to the tech hub. Tech entrepreneur Mike Belshe, CEO and co-founder of BitGo, is set to host Vance for a high-profile fundraiser at his Palo Alto home.
Belshe is just one of several tech executives who have thrown their support behind the GOP ticket and are helping to raise funds for the Republican presidential campaign. Vance, who has strong connections in the tech industry, including working with venture capitalist Peter Thiel and billionaire investor Marc Andreessen, is leveraging his Silicon Valley ties to boost the campaign’s war chest.
The fundraiser, which comes with a hefty price tag, offers attendees the chance to participate in a roundtable discussion, take a photo with Vance, and enjoy dinner with the vice presidential candidate. With tickets ranging from $3,300 to $25,000, the event is expected to draw a crowd of high-profile donors.
Belshe, known for his work in the cryptocurrency space, has been vocal about his support for Trump’s pro-crypto policies. The former president recently made promises to the cryptocurrency industry at a conference in Nashville, further solidifying his stance on the issue.
As the CEO of BitGo, Belshe has a strong background in computer engineering and has made significant contributions to web browsing technology. His support for Trump and his involvement in hosting the fundraiser for Vance highlight the growing influence of tech leaders in the political landscape.
With the upcoming fundraiser poised to be a major event in Silicon Valley, all eyes will be on Vance and Belshe as they work to rally support for the Republican ticket.
