Vice President Vance is headlining high-dollar fundraisers for the Republican National Committee today in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Big Sky, Montana, an official tells Axios.

Axios is told each event is raising over $2 million, for a total haul today of over $4 million.

Why it matters: Besides fortifying the party to defend House and Senate majorities in next year's midterms, the swings are helping Vance build a national network ahead of an expected presidential run in 2028.

Over the five months since being named RNC finance chair, Vance has made fundraising stops in Houston, Dallas, Manhattan, Atlanta, Nashville, San Diego and Nantucket.

2024 will be an election year like no other, as President Biden seeks re-election amid economic uncertainty, two wars and questions about his age. His likely foe, former President Trump, faces felony charges and vows revenge on his political enemies. Meanwhile, Americans generally are dissatisfied with those choices and are divided over immigration, race, education and more.
