    Former President Trump attended the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix on Sunday, spotted at Hard Rock Stadium.

    Photos from the event showed the GOP presidential candidate walking around the paddock, visiting the McLaren team garage and waving at passersby.

    Trump backer Steve Witkoff reportedly planned a fundraiser from one of the event’s suites, but the plans were shut down by race organizer and Miami Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel.

    “Political campaigning has its place, and it is not at our race. We welcome you and your guests to attend our event and enjoy your suite. However, we respectfully request it be done in compliance with our very clear license agreement,” race organizers wrote Witkoff in a letter, first reported by radio host Andy Slater.

    Trump was in Florida over the weekend for the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting , largely seen as an audition for potential 2024 running mates. The guest list included many of those who are rumored to be on the list of finalists, including South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R), House GOP conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
