88.600 de dolari, prețul unei fotografii cu Donald Trump la convenția republicană din Texas
Donors wishing to take a photo with Donald Trump at the upcoming Republican National Committee convention in Texas must pay $88,600. A roundtable event with the president costs $250,000. The convention, scheduled for September 9-10 in Dallas, is unusual as it occurs before midterm elections without a presidential candidate to nominate. Some Republican organizations offer honorary delegate status for up to $20,000, while participation fees for certain members of Congress reach $25,000. Despite criticism over high costs, Republicans argue the funds are essential for supporting candidates in challenging races. The RNC expects around 30,000 attendees and has raised $42 million for the event, which is crucial for maintaining congressional majorities before the elections.
