Senator Tim Scott is slated to appear at a political event featuring some of the biggest names in finance, including Citadel’s Ken Griffin, Apollo’s Marc Rowan and Pershing Square’s Bill Ackman, as the South Carolina Republican vies to be Donald Trump’s running mate.
The June 19 gathering in Washington will also include venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway and Crownquest Operating LLC co-founder Tim Dunn, according to an invitation obtained by Bloomberg News. The event will raise money for Great Opportunity Policy Inc., a political advocacy group allied with Scott, according to a person familiar with the matter.
