Rockbridge, a secretive donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance and investor Chris Buskirk in 2019, brought Cabinet members, lawmakers and major Republican donors to a private welcome reception at The Rustic in Dallas. The event drew between 200 and 250 people, including HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., HUD Secretary Scott Turner, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Dallas businessman and major GOP donor Ray Washburne, and other prominent figures. The reception was not a fundraiser, but it opened a lucrative week for Republicans ahead of President Trump's two-day midterm convention. An RNC fundraiser hosted by Trump will charge $250,000 per person for a roundtable and $88,600 for a photo, according to an invitation obtained by Axios. Turnout for America, a super PAC tied to Rockbridge, has announced plans to invest $50 million to boost voter turnout for GOP candidates in November. Market pricing indicates a moderate decline in the likelihood of Vance being removed from the vice presidency by the end of the year, while no immediate threats to his position have been reported. Observers will watch for conflicts involving Vance, endorsements from influential Republicans, changes in his approval ratings and his relationship with former President Donald Trump.
