WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump plans at least five fundraisers in the coming weeks.
The cash-raising spree comes as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee builds a financial operation from scratch. The billionaire businessman mostly financed his primary bid through personal loans.
Trump has booked a June 16 event in Dallas, a June 17 lunch in San Antonio and a June 18 event in Houston, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press.
Also now scheduled are a June 21 fundraising dinner and breakfast the next morning in New York City, both hosted by Woody Johnson, chief fundraiser for 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
Trump has held just one major fundraiser as a presidential candidate, a May 25 dinner at the Los Angeles home of friend Tom Barrack. It netted more than $5 million.
