Donald Trump Jr. and his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle are stepping up their fundraising for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign with a dinner and reception in London next month, when tickets will cost up to $100,000.
A source familiar with planning said they expect the harvest to be in the seven figures.
While a series of polls show Trump leading in the battleground states that will decide November’s election, he trails President Joe Biden’s fundraising totals.
Now Don. Jr, 46, and Guilfoyle, 55, will headline an event in Alabama on June 5 before flying to London for a big event a week later.
Hosts include Australian actress Holly Vallance, several Trump ambassadors and financial services billionaire Howard Lutnick.

Attendees can expect to pay $25,000 for a photo with the presenters, according to an invitation obtained by DailyMail.com.
“Expect both Don Jr. if Kim will continue to aggressively fundraise for the Trump campaign, especially as we get closer to the fall,” a source close to Don Jr. said. and Guilfoyle.
“With the exception of former President Trump himself, no one in Trump’s orbit has the ability to consistently raise as much money by headlining fundraisers as she does.
“They were the first fundraisers in the 2020 campaign and will be similarly active on the fundraising circuit this time around.”
Trump’s ability to raise money has been limited by the hush-money lawsuit underway in New York that has kept him in court four days a week.
But on Friday (a day off from court so Trump could attend his son Barron’s graduation) he traveled to Minnesota for a campaign event.
He will headline the Lincoln Reagan Dinner in St. Paul, one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the Republican Party of Minnesota.
The latest federal filings show he has work to do.
Although the famed billionaire prides himself on getting maximum bang for his buck during his campaign, he lags behind Biden in fundraising, according to the latest federal filings.

He ended March with $45 million, compared to Biden’s $85.5 million.
His most spectacular event yet will likely close the gap. A reception in Palm Beach, Florida, home of billionaire John Paulson, last month raised more than $50 million, according to his campaign.
“It is clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation and the money to propel President Trump to victory in November,” Team Trump said at the time.
In recent months, a series of wealthy bankers, investors and financiers have put aside their doubts, saying they will support the former president over Biden.
Lutnick, the founder of Cantor Fitzgerald, said immigration and business regulation were turning the business world back to Trump.
“The Republican Party is a less regulatory party,” Lutnick told Bloomberg last month.
“A more business-friendly government is probably good for stocks, although you can’t say Joe Biden hasn’t been good for stocks lately.”

Both Don Jr. as Guilfoyle were regular headliners for Trump.
He was one of the big names at an event in Washington DC that raised $2 million in March, for example.
Both parties are stepping up efforts to raise money for what promises to be a desperately close election.
Biden, for his part, is calling on some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities for a fundraiser in Los Angeles next month.
Julia Roberts and George Clooney are expected to top the list.
