Story highlights Trump had been set to Florida Friday afternoon

Pence remains scheduled to travel to the Middle East

The deadline to avoid a shutdown is midnight

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump has canceled his planned trip to his posh Florida resort Friday, anticipating that lawmakers can't avert the looming government shutdown set to take effect at midnight, according to a government official.

A White House spokeswoman denied that Trump's planned trip to Florida had been canceled, saying no decisions about travel beyond Friday have yet been made.

The President had been planning to spend the weekend at Mar-a-Lago for the one-year anniversary of his inauguration and is hosting a Saturday night fundraising soiree with $100,000 tickets.

The amount, confirmed to CNN by a person familiar with the dinner, pays for a couple's dinner and photograph with Trump. A $250,000 ticket will allow a pair to participate in a roundtable. All proceeds will benefit the Trump Victory Fund, the source confirmed.

A Republican National Committee official told CNN they are determining what will become of fundraiser gala -- Trump could be beamed in via video or could be rescheduled, but many people are already in or en route to Palm Beach.
