Former President Donald Trump will visit Park City, Utah, during the last week of June for a private campaign fundraiser as part of his proposed 2024 presidential run.

PARK CITY, Utah — Former President Donald Trump will visit Park City, Utah, during the last week of June for a private campaign fundraiser as part of his proposed 2024 presidential run, as reported by The Deseret News.

The fundraiser will be held at an undisclosed hotel in Park City and is expected to include a group of wealthy individuals from across the state. Utah political figures such as Sen. Mike Lee, Rep. Burgess Owens, and Attorney General Sean Reyes are also expected to attend the event.

The visit to Utah comes after a record-breaking $50.5 million fundraiser held for Trump in Palm Beach, Florida on April 6. The Trump 47 Committee, which is a joint fundraising organization, organized the event. The committee is capable of raising money for Trump’s Save America PAC, which can then be used for campaign needs or legal bills.

Trump has visited Utah only once before, in March 2016. The event was met with thousands of supporters and protesters in downtown Salt Lake City.

President Joe Biden attended a campaign fundraiser in Park City in August 2023. The event was hosted by Kristi and John Cumming, founder of ski resort company Powdr, and Nancy and Mark Gilbert, former U.S. ambassador.
