$50,000 to $100,000 event was held at biotech executive's Rancho Santa Fe home
As is customary, the location of the private Democratic National Committee fundraiser Monday evening for President Joe Biden didn’t appear on the invitation. It remained a closely guarded secret until just before the event.
“We were there in a nonpartisan way,” said Banner, who is a Republican. “I knew about half of the people there, and they were not necessarily Biden supporters.” “You know, Greg, I’m a believer,” the president responded as he took what he called his Irish rosary — a ring with a cross on it — from his pocket.
The reception was expensive, with tickets running $50,000 and $100,000 — higher than most local political fundraisers. “The photos better be good,” chuckled Peters.
