This fundraiser is held at a venue significantly larger than the one held this summer. Peter Shields, a managing partner at a Washington, D.C., law firm, hosted almost 300 people in his Rehoboth Beach home in August.

This is the second Biden presidential campaign fundraiser held in Delaware. The tickets range from $100 to $2,800, according to the invitation.
