White House Press spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders is running for governor of Arkansas, and Donald Trump is benefiting.
In mid-March, Sanders hosted a campaign event in Mar-a-Lago. State offerings released for the first three months of 2021 show that his campaign paid the Palm Beach, FL club, owned by Trump directly, $ 10,700 on March 12 for event Catering.
The $ 10,700 investment was more than half of what Sanders ’campaign spent putting on the event for the entire quarter.
In addition to food, Sanders received a surprise visit from the former president, an appearance he mentioned on Twitter.
Less than a month later, the Sanders campaign returned to Mar-a-Lago to conduct another fundraiser. Trump swung by that same one. The campaign has not yet disclosed how much it spent on the second event.
Neither the Trump Organization nor the Sanders campaign responded to numerous requests for comment.

I took an unusual route to get here. In my past life, I worked as a travel and food writer, for which I got the assignment in 2016 to cover the big opening of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, just a few miles from my home.
