President Donald Trump will be in Dallas Sept. 27 to drum up cash for the Republican National Committee and his own campaign, the Texas Tribune reports, about a month before his oldest son is set to deliver an address as part of a University of North Texas speaker series.
UNT’s website gives the date for Donald Trump Jr.’s speech as Oct. 24, and the North Texas Daily, the university’s student newspaper, tweeted that the executive vice president of the Trump Organization will appear at AT&T Stadium. Past speakers in the series include former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and oilman T. Boone Pickens, although Trump Jr. appears to be the first guest to warrant a forum the size of Jerry World. No word yet on tickets.
Trump the Elder’s event will be a more exclusive affair, with tickets to the fundraiser — no location has been publicly announced — ranging from $2,700 to $100,000. North Texas donors were major contributors to Trump’s 2016 war chest, so it makes sense the president would return to fundraise as his party warms up for the 2018 midterms.
To relive all of your favorite hits of the 2016 presidential campaign here in North Texas, tickets to see the Clintons speak at the Irving Music Factory in November go on sale Friday.
