Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz will be in Dallas on Monday, but his visit will not include a major speech or rally. Instead, the Minnesota governor will attend a private fundraiser.

Texas is not considered a swing state in the upcoming election, but it remains a valuable location for soliciting campaign contributions.

According to The Dallas Morning News, one of the event’s hosts, Dori and Russell Budd, previously raised $2.5 million for President Joe Biden during a fundraiser held at their home in March. That event marked the third time Biden had visited the Budds' residence for a fundraising event.
