Trump Campaign Offers Potential Ride on Air Force 2 With JD Vance

On Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump’s campaign unveiled an opportunity for supporters to win a future ride on Air Force Two with Ohio Senator JD Vance who the campaign hopes will be in the White House after this year’s presidential election.

The fundraising campaign encourages supporters to enter to win “this ALL-EXPENSES-PAID trip of a lifetime” by contributing any amount to the Trump-Vance campaign.

In a Sunday email blast, the campaign wrote, “JD Vance didn’t just ask anyone to join…He asked for YOU, a true MAGA Patriot!” referring to the former president’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.

The email links to an online donations page that shows a banner of who just donated and how much money was given. Air Force Two is always the plane used by the U.S. vice president; it is currently Vice President Kamala Harris’ plane.

The logistics of the flight are not evident yet as its unclear when and where the plane will be flying to, and is hypothetical, as the election has not occurred yet.

Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign for details via email on Sunday.

The campaign email comes less than two weeks after Harris’ and Trump’s campaign released their July fundraising numbers, with the vice president’s campaign more than doubling Trump’s.

Harris entered the presidential campaign after President Joe Biden exited on July 21, raising $200 million in the first week of her announced candidacy, for a total of $310 in the month, according to the campaign. Campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said that Harris raised more than $81 million within the first 24-hour period following Biden’s announcement.

The Harris campaign also stated that it began the month of August with $377 million cash on hand, which they noted was the most for a presidential candidate at this moment in the election cycle. In comparison, the Trump campaign reported having $327 million cash on-hand to begin the month of August.

July was also an eventful month for the Trump campaign. During a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, a gunman on a nearby rooftop about 150 yards away opened fire, injuring the former president and two attendees, as well as killing 50-year-old former firefighter Corey Comperatore.

Several days later, Trump appeared at the Republican National Convention (RNC) to accept his official nomination and announce Vance as his running mate.

Trump’s campaign said it raised $138.7 million in July. On Saturday, Trump attended a private fundraising dinner in Aspen, Colorado, which according to The Aspen Times featured various levels of participation, ranging from $25,000 to $500,000 per couple.

Harris is set to appear at a fundraiser on Sunday evening in San Francisco alongside former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat. Tickets for the “Harris Victory Fund” event ranged from $3,300 to $50,000, and according to NBC News, a campaign official said that the event has sold out, with nearly 700 RSVPs, generating over $12 million for the campaign.
