Trump, Harris campaigns coming to Texas for fundraisers

Both major-party presidential campaigns will have a presence in Texas early next week as Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris seek to boost their war chests for the final six weeks of the race.
U.S. Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, is set to hold four fundraisers early next week, beginning with a Sunday dinner reception in Austin, according to The New York Times.
The Ohio Republican will attend a trio of North Texas fundraisers Tuesday: a luncheon in Fort Worth and a leadership discussion and separate private dinner and discussion in Dallas. The latter event, listed as $100,000 per couple to attend, includes dinner seating and a photo opportunity.
Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff will hold a freedom to vote rally with Texas Democrats in San Antonio on Monday, followed by a fundraising reception.

Emhoff, married to Vice President Kamala Harris, will also speak at receptions in Austin and Houston on Tuesday. Former Democratic U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke is listed as a special guest for the Austin fundraiser.
The stops come as the third-quarter fundraising period ends Sept. 30. Campaign finance reports for the July-through-September period are due Oct. 15, marking one of the final opportunities for campaigns to show financial strength heading into the closing weeks of the election.
