Orange Co. Dems slam JD Vance for Winter Park fundraiser as hurricane threatens Florida

Orange County Democrats are slamming Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance for hosting a fundraiser as Central Florida braces for a hurricane.

“As Floridians prepare for the devastation of Hurricane Helene, it’s outrageous that JD Vance and the (Donald) Trump campaign chose to host an extravagant fundraiser in Winter Park, instead of using this critical time to support our communities,” said Orange County Democratic Party Chair Samuel Vilchez Santiago.

“While JD Vance and his wealthy allies indulge in lavish lunches, everyday Floridians are securing their homes, evacuating, and worrying about their families’ well-being.”

Reporter Jordan Zakarin first reported that Vance would attend a Winter Park fundraiser hosted by Golden Corral founder Eric Holm.
