Former President Donald Trump is becoming more and more popular in regions of the country where it would have seemed unimaginable to some.

The former president demonstrated this last week in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s backyard by raising almost $12 million at a fundraiser with affluent tech industry figures, according to the Daily Wire.

Venture investor David Sacks and fellow venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya hosted the fundraiser at their Pacific Heights residence. Palihapitiya and Sacks co-host the well-liked podcast “All-In.” The price to attend varied from $50,000 and $500,000, depending on the perks. Many well-known cryptocurrency investors and venture capitalists attended the event.

During the fundraiser, Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee, said the former president was “relaxed, happy, and cracking jokes about AI.

For the past couple of months, Donald Trump has been working hard to prove that, as he said during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, he is “a leader on IVF, which is fertilization.” And despite the jokes that ensued about Trump’s follow-up claim “I have been a leader on fertilization” Trump really has been trying. In August, he pledged to make IVF free to all Americans by requiring insurance companies or the federal government to cover it.
