AUSTIN (Nexstar) — Forty-three days before the election, neither presidential campaign is making an earnest effort to compete for historically-red Texas, but both are returning once again to tap into Texas' bottomless well of campaign cash. Republican candidate for vice president J.D. Vance began his fundraising swing Sunday night in Austin alongside Gov. Greg Abbott with a dinner at the home of Joe Lonsdale, the founder of Palantir Technologies. He will continue on to two events in Fort Worth and a high-dollar dinner in Dallas on Tuesday. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff is headlining a star-studded "Freedom to Vote" rally at San Antonio College on Monday afternoon alongside San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, Joaquin and Julian Castro, and Democratic candidates for the state House. The event is organized by Texas Offense, the Texas Democratic Party's coordinated campaign with Senate candidate Colin Allred. Emhoff will then travel to Austin on Tuesday and Houston on Wednesday. The trips are just the latest attempts for each campaign to attract Texas donors. Last month, Vance was in San Antonio for a fundraiser hosted by the International Bank of Commerce CEO Dennis Nixon. Tim Walz has also raised money in Dallas, and Harris made multiple stops to Texas' big, blue cities in the first weeks of her campaign.
