Scaramucci was fired from his position in the White House after 11 days on the job during July of last year. He was replaced by Hope Hicks until her resignation on March 29.

The news comes amidst a heated race between Grimm and Rep. Dan Donovan. The New York Daily News recently reported that a poll by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee showed that Grimm maintained a 10 percent lead on Donovan for GOP voters.

Donovan refuted the validity of the poll.

The fundraiser, which will be headlined by Scaramucci, will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
