Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will appear at fundraisers in Lexington later this month, according to the Fayette County GOP chair.

Former President Donald Trump will be in Lexington September 22nd for a fundraiser for his 2024 campaign, according to Fayette County Republican Chair Fran Anderson. Trump’s leading in the polls, but he’ll be beaten to the Bluegrass by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who’ll be the guest of honor at a September 12th event. Anderson said he doesn’t know where either fundraiser will be held, but said attending the Trump event will require a contribution of at least 33-hundred dollars. In 2016 and 2020, Trump won Kentucky handily.
