Pretty penny: For $5,000, Democrats can be Biden’s ‘friend’

President Joe Biden will be campaigning in Las Vegas next weekend, including holding a fundraiser where his campaign charges $5,000 to be listed as a “friend” of the president.

The high price tag is considered the lowest donation tier, while being a “host” is the most expensive, requiring a $100,000 donation. The event, which will be held on Sunday, comes two days before the Feb. 6 Democratic primary.

Other tiers include being a “co-host,” which requires a  $50,000 donation, being a “champion,” which requires a $25,000 donation, and “advocate,” which costs $10,000, according to Politico

The visit to the Silver State will be the president’s first trip to Nevada specifically to garner support ahead of the 2024 elections. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the state this past weekend to win support among early voters.

The Nevada Democratic primary will be the second state primary where Biden will appear on the ballot. The first is South Carolina’s, which takes place on Feb. 3. Biden did not appear on the ballot in the New Hampshire primary but won it anyway, thanks to a write-in effort. However, he did not receive any delegates because the state’s primary broke new rules from the Democratic National Committee.

The president most recently visited Nevada last month to discuss a new federal grant for a high-speed rail project that connects Las Vegas and Southern California. He also went to the swing state last March for a fundraiser and to discuss prescription drug reforms.
