Vance Helps Raise Millions for RNC As 2028 Speculation Grows

Republicans are also attempting to overcome the historical pattern in which the president’s party often loses congressional seats during midterm elections.

With President Trump leading the party and Vance spearheading fundraising efforts, the GOP is investing heavily in competitive House and Senate races across the country while Democrats work to regain control of Congress.

The Silicon Valley fundraiser also underscores the Republican Party’s growing support among some technology executives and investors, a group that has traditionally favored Democratic candidates but has become increasingly open to Republican policies and candidates in recent election cycles.

Earlier this week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissed suggestions that Vance is overshadowing him in the Trump administration’s negotiations with Iran, calling the premise of the question “silly.”

Speaking with reporters in Bahrain, Rubio was asked whether he wanted a more direct role in the talks rather than having Vance take the lead.
