Anna Wintour shows her support for Vice President Kamala Harris but throwing a fundraiser for her in the Hamptons along with Tory Burch.
The event will be co-hosted by Liz Hilton, a senior partner at McKinsey & Co., and designer Aurora James. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo is set to be the featured guest of the evening. Reports state that the ticket prices range from $2,500 to $50,000 as posted on the invitations.
This isn’t the first time that the British editor of Vogue has held a fundraiser for presidential candidates. She had one for former President Barack Obama during his White Campaigns, which she co-hosted a few of them with Michael Kors and Calvin Klein.
Tory Burch is longtime Democrat who has appeared at fundraisers alongside from First Lady Michelle Obama. In 2016, she wrote an op-ed piece calling on her fellow CEOs to give their employees time off for election.
So far, the Democratic party has raised millions of dollars since President Biden announced that he would no longer be running for re-election. ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, quoted that $66.9 million and $67.2 million were raised in donations. Once Vice President Harris announced that her running mate was Tim Walz, it was recorded that another $41 million in donations was raised.
