Donald Trump is planning a fresh fundraising swing through Texas, with plans to court donors in oil country as he seeks to narrow a cash gap with Kamala Harris in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

The itinerary includes an Oct. 2 luncheon in the Midland, Texas, area, the heart of the prolific Permian Basin, followed by a cocktail reception in Houston, according to people familiar with the events.
