Harris said at a high-dollar fundraiser in San Francisco that the race was so close she would run as an underdog, according to Bloomberg, and criticized Trump's positions on health care and reproductive rights as "extremely serious."

Tickets for the event go for up to $926,600, and donors who donate at least $100,000 can get a photo with the vice president, while those who donate more than $250,000 can attend the luncheon. Both Harris and Trump are courting California’s huge donor base.

Harris’ campaign is currently ahead of Trump in fundraising and spending. Both are courting the business community, with Harris emphasizing responsible AI rulemaking and Trump raising hundreds of millions of dollars across the country.

California's lieutenant governor said both events were nearly sold out, and Newton noted that while neither man is actively campaigning in California, they frequently come here to raise money.
