Mike Pence is wooing 2016 anti-Trumpers to bankroll his billion-dollar reelection
As it turned out, Pence had his eye on others at Pebble Beach. That evening, the vice president met privately with Warren Stephens, a 62-year-old Arkansas investment banker who, like Singer, was among the biggest contributors to the failed effort to thwart Trump. In 2016, Stephens gave a combined $5.9 million to a pair of super PACs that spent heavily to prevent Trump from winning the Republican nomination.
Pence’s appearance at Monday’s dinner was the latest in a string of overtures to the two megadonors: He also hosted Singer and Stephens at the White House for detailed briefings on the administration’s legislative agenda. And there are indications the relationship has improved.
