There is no reason why after candidates have been given their free passes for family, staff, friends etc. that the DNC cannot sell the tickets for whatever they wish to set the price for fundraising purposes. There are also the costs of the venue and the production broadcasting costs, which presumably are covered by the advertising the network sells. But the DNC should absolutely be able to make it a fundraiser for itself to cover costs it has to continue to promote and run the DNC and support its presidential candidate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
