It was perhaps the starkest divide between the front-runners at Thursday’s Democratic debate: the candidates who attend private fundraisers and those who reject them.
A flash point was over a recent Buttigieg fundraiser held in a now-infamous Napa Valley “wine cave” owned by a billionaire couple Kathryn and Craig Hall. Story continuesHow a Buttigieg fundraiser is different from a Biden fundraiserBoth the Buttigieg and Biden campaigns allow a “pool” reporter to cover at least some of these private events and report on who attended and what was said.
A recent co-host of a Biden fundraiser in Pittsburgh, for example, was Jim Rooney, the son of the late chairman of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Another co-host of the event was the co-owner of a local diner chain called Pamela's P&G Diner. Buttigieg also held a fundraiser in Pittsburgh this month, but is more likely to raise money in the big-money areas of New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
There are plenty of areas of overlap. Here’s fun one: Celebrity chef Danny Meyer and his wife Audrey have not only given money to both Biden and Buttigieg. According to pool reports, they also co-hosted fundraisers for both candidates in December. They raised month for Biden on Dec. 3 and then Buttigieg just eight days later.
