Trump to attend California fundraiser with Oracle chairman

Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison has announced a Feb. 19 fundraiser for President Trump to be hosted at his golf course and California estate to support the president's reelection campaign.

The tech billionaire will host supporters at a golf event in Rancho Mirage, Calif., for the outing next week, USA Today reported. For $100,000, supporters can join the golf event and have their photo taken with Trump. For $250,000, supporters can take a photo, attend the event and participate in a roundtable discussion. Both donation options are available for two guests.

As of the end of 2019, Ellison had never contributed to Trump’s campaign or any political action committees supporting the president, USA Today reported.

he contributions will help fund Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee launched by the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and state GOP organizations, USA Today reported. The funds will be distributed between Trump’s primary and general election accounts, the RNC and state parties, in addition to funding the Republican National Convention

I may be mis-remembering, but I recall the roll-out of the marketplace was a disaster and Oregon ended up using the Federal Marketplace - with Oracle suing for the privilege. That's when I learned they were run by a right-winger.
