Senator JD Vance, the Republican candidate for vice president, is scheduled to address a gathering of prominent Republican donors in New York next week. The event is part of his trip for a vice-presidential debate, taking place on Tuesday evening against his Democratic opponent, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. Vance's speech will occur just before the debate, making it a significant moment as he engages with a key group of financial supporters.

The American Opportunity Alliance, which is hosting this private conference, includes a network of major GOP backers, among them wealthy investors like Paul Singer, Ken Griffin, and Warren Stephens. The group, which convenes biannually, has previously welcomed various influential personalities, including top advisers from Donald Trump’s campaign and those running against him. The A.O.A. operates with a decentralized approach, meaning that while some members have generously supported Trump, others have taken a more neutral stance in their contributions.
