Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) famously swore off high-dollar fundraisers during her campaign to be the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, but now that she’s no longer competing for the top job, she’s apparently open to breaking her promise.

The New York Times reports that Warren will host the next high-dollar “virtual” fundraiser for the Joe Biden for President campaign — fundraisers that typically command up to $100,000 per attendee, based on previous invitations. A previous “virtual” event with failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had ticket slots ranging from $2,300 per “plate” into the six figures, even though there were no “perks,” like photo opportunities, associated with the fundraiser.
