NBC News, which was the first to report on the first-of-its-kind event, also reported that it may take place at Radio City Music Hall. Biden also is expected to return to Los Angeles by late March for another round of fundraising.
The use of contests to drive up campaign contributions has become a regular part of fundraising, with supporters entering for a chance to win chances to have a meal with the candidate or attend star-studded events.
Biden’s main campaign committee reported having $46 million cash on hand as of December 31, with $97 million raised in the fourth quarter. The latter figure includes money from the campaign and a joint fundraising committee.
