President Donald Trump will resume in-person fundraising events this month — hosting two big-dollar events as he moves to restart a campaign season paused by the coronavirus pandemic.
On June 11, Trump will host a fundraiser at a private home in Dallas, Texas before flying out to his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club for a June 13 event, a campaign official confirmed to The Post.
Admission to the Dallas fundraiser costs $580,600 per couple, while the New Jersey event will cost each attendee $250,000. All proceeds will go to Trump Victory, the joint fundraising committee of the Trump reelection campaign, the Republican National Committee and state parties.
A third event is reportedly in the works for July 4 weekend in Florida, according to Bloomberg.
A campaign official told The Post of the two confirmed events that about 25 people are expected to attend each, and that event coordinators were taking extensive safety precautions to ensure that social distancing would be observed.
Those attending the events will be evaluated by the White House medical unit and Secret Service. They will be required to test negative for the virus on the day of the event, as well as complete a health questionnaire and pass a temperature test.
The president’s rival, presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, announced in early march that it was postponing in-person fundraising events “indefinitely” as the pandemic forced Americans into self-quarantine.
Since then, the former vice president has taken to hosting virtual fundraisers for donors, using methods like conference calls and video events.
Biden has defended his remaining on lockdown amid the pandemic, despite it throwing a wrench in typical general election plans.
Last week, presidential hopeful clapped back at Trump and his GOP allies after weeks of being mocked for observing social distancing guidelines and remaining on lockdown in his Delaware home.
“All this stuff about ‘Biden’s hidin,’ well, you know, the fact of the matter is, it’s working pretty well so far, doing the rules,” he told CNN last Tuesday.
“He’s behind in almost every — every state,” he continued, noting that he recognized that the numbers could change between now and the November election.
Biden was referencing his climbing poll numbers, which have recently shown him ahead of Trump both nationally and in key swing states.
Since making those comments, the 77-year-old Democrat has made three public appearances, most recently assessing the damage and speaking to voters in Wilmington, Delaware after a night of protests and riots in response to the murder of George Floyd.
A Biden campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment regarding his in-person fundraising plans.
