JD Vance's Southampton Fundraiser With Tucker Carlson Funder Sparks Fury on the Right (mediaite.com) — A high-dollar Republican fundraiser featuring Vice President JD Vance was held in Southampton drawing about $5 million from roughly 35 donors and sparking backlash from some conservative commentators.
