Mike Pompeo, other 2024 GOP hopefuls head to New York to meet with donors as possible White House bids loomPUBLISHED THU, JUN 24 20218:35 AM EDT

KEY POINTS
Mike Pompeo has been making the biggest push into New York donor circles since the 2020 presidential election ended, according to insiders.
Hes basically already running for the presidency, said one of the people familiar with Pompeos New York meetings.
As for Ron DeSantis, allies of the Florida governor have signaled they are planning to set up an event in the Hamptons for his gubernatorial campaign.
A growing group of Republicans who could run for president in 2024 are making their way to New York to meet with lucrative donors.
Potential contenders who either have or are set to gather with donors in the Big Apple include former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Sens. Tim Scott and Marco Rubio and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to people briefed on the matter and invitations to fundraising events.
Though Scott, Rubio and DeSantis are up for reelection in 2022, raising money for those campaigns could translate into financial support for a 2024 presidential run. Pompeo recently launched the Champion American Values PAC to help Republicans running in 2022, including those in the House and Senate, and these meetings could end up helping him bring in cash for this venture.
Pompeo has been making the biggest push into New York donor circles since the 2020 presidential election ended, according to insiders familiar with the efforts. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely about private events.

He is not going to donate and not likely going to let them muscle in on his territory.
