Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, is among the list of people set to host a fundraiser for Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), who has voted against most of President Donald Trump's cabinet nominees.

Other people who will join Altman in hosting a lunch fundraiser for Warner on March 20 include, Chris Lehane, a Democrat political consultant, according to an invitation to the fundraiser viewed by Breitbart News. In August 2024, the New York Times reported that OpenAI had picked Lehane to serve as the vice president of global policy.

Josh Ackil — who co-founded the Franklin Square Group, and has "served in the Clinton White House as Special Assistant to the President," and Matt Tanielian — who also co-founded the Franklin Square Group, and "served as Counsel" for former Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-NJ), will also host the fundraiser for Warner.

In addition to voting against most of Trump's cabinet picks, Warner, who serves as the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, was one of the factors behind the slow-walking of now-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation.

Altman serving as one of the hosts of the fundraiser comes after he and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Oracle Board Chair and CTO Larry Ellison joined Trump at the White House in January to announce that the men were joining together to create a company named, "Stargate."
