Bettina Trump, wife of Donald Trump Jr., recently stepped further into the political sphere by co-hosting a fundraising event in the Hamptons. The event, held at the home of Omeed Malik, president of venture capital firm 1789 Capital, aimed to raise funds for the Republican National Committee (RNC).
The gathering attracted young Republican donors, with ticket prices for the dinner set at $250,000 per couple and the reception at $100,000 per couple. The event reportedly raised over $5 million.
Bettina Trump, dressed in a white one-shouldered cocktail dress, shared her thoughts on the importance of upcoming elections. "Presidential elections may capture the headlines… but midterm elections matter ENORMOUSLY," she stated in a social media post. "The majorities we elect in Congress determine whether an administration can actually advance its agenda, and races up and down the ballot will shape the direction of our country for years to come."
She also emphasized the need for continued engagement following the 2024 elections, urging supporters to maintain their energy for the 2026 midterms. "2024 was only the beginning. Now we have to show up in 2026 with that same energy, determination and commitment," she wrote.
Vice President JD Vance was also in attendance, participating in the event alongside Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Trump. Pictures from the event showed the trio standing in front of two U.S. flags.
This event marks one of several public appearances Bettina Trump has made alongside her husband since their wedding in May. The couple legally married in a Palm Beach ceremony, followed by a more private celebration with close friends and family on Little Pipe Cay. Bettina Trump has been by her husband's side at various events this summer, including the UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.
