Parties for Trump, Clinton

Political fund-raising for the presidential race heats up on the South Fork this weekend, with an event for Donald Trump to take place in East Hampton on Saturday and several fund-raisers for Hillary Clinton scheduled for the end of the month.

The Trump event will take place on Saturday night at the Highway Behind the Pond residence of Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets. Peter Kalikow of Montauk, the former chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority who heads a Manhattan real estate firm, is a co-host, as is, reportedly, Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, an investment firm.

“I’ve known Donald Trump for 40 years, and I think he would make a great president,” Mr. Kalikow said yesterday through a representative. Howard Lorber, a businessman and investor who is chairman of the Southampton Hospital Foundation, is also a co-host. He is among those just named by Mr. Trump to a 13-member economic policy advisory council.

Hillary Clinton will be on hand for fund-raisers from Aug. 28 through 30, including a late-night concert by the singer Jimmy Buffett at his North Haven residence, and a dinner in East Hampton co-hosted by Alan Patricof, a longtime Clinton supporter, and Charles Phillips, the chief executive officer of Infor Global Solutions, a software company, who served on President Barack Obama’s economic recovery advisory board. 

Other events reportedly slated to occur during Mrs. Clinton’s visit include a big-ticket fund-raiser in Bridgehampton hosted by Jonathan Tisch of the Loews Corporation, who is treasurer of the New York Giants, and Bill Rudin of Rudin Management.

Dinners are also planned in Quogue and Southampton, with Adam Sender, a hedge fund manager and art collector, and Barbara Lee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, who was appointed chairwoman of the New York State Council on the Arts in April, and Carl Spielvogel, former United States ambassador to the Slovak Republic, among the hosts.
