The cost of a Joe Biden selfie is kinda ridiculous

There are campaigns that are built on building grassroots armies of supporters and donors, ones that allow any attendee to take a picture with the candidate. Then there’s the other kind. Here is Joe Biden, in a Bay Area swing:

Thursday, December 12

$10k Sponsor (raise) includes VIP reception before, $2,800 Guest (Includes Picture), $1,000 Friend

 

Thursday, December 12

Host- Sen. Dianne Feinstein & Richard Blum

Early Evening

San Francisco, CA

$10k Sponsor (raise) includes VIP reception before, $2,800 Guest (Includes Picture), $1000 Friend

 

Thursday, December 12

Host- XXX

Evening

South San Francisco, CA (near airport)

$10k Sponsor (raise) includes VIP reception before, $2,800 Guest (Includes Picture)

Asking $2,800 for a selfie is unconscionable. But it will set you back just $1,000 to get in the room (for the first two events) if you don’t care about a photo. Then again, Biden just had a brutal fundraising quarter, putting into question his ability to even compete past the early states in February.
