While Vice President Kamala Harris spoke in Indianapolis on Wednesday, former President Trump’s pick to be his vice president visited Indiana’s second largest city.

Ohio Senator JD Vance was in Fort Wayne where his campaign says he raised around $1 million for he and Trump’s presidential campaign.

“This is very significant,” said Allen County GOP Chairman Steve Shine. “It basically substantiates that Allen County is the hot bed for Republican excitement in the State of Indiana. JD Vance committed to coming to Fort Wayne because he knows Fort Wayne is a very loyal Republican base.”

Vance led a closed-door fundraiser inside a hanger at the Fort Wayne International Airport. Tickets for the fundraiser ranged from $1,000 per person to about $50,000 per couple.

The event was the next one following Vance’s return to his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, near Cincinnati where he held a large rally of supporters.
