JD Vance Fundraiser Draws Mixed Reactions in OKC

Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance attended a high-profile fundraising event in Oklahoma City, hosted by local banker Mark Davenport. The private event, which required tickets costing up to $100,000, was attended by prominent figures such as Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin, and Attorney General Gentner Drummond. Despite the high ticket prices and private nature, the event drew mixed reactions from the local community, highlighting the contrast between Vance's working-class persona and the elite nature of the fundraiser. The event was part of a broader tour following Vance's nomination by former President Donald Trump. Security was notably tight with Secret Service presence, and the invitation-only event sold out quickly. This Oklahoma City visit comes amid Vance's plans for further campaign stops, including a scheduled rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
