Democrats lure donors with World Series, 'Hamilton' contests

Posted

Want free tickets to the World Series? What about a trip to California to see the hit Broadway musical "Hamilton?"

You could be a lucky winner if you donate to a presidential candidate.

Democratic candidates working to raise campaign cash and rack up small-dollar donors have been offering free trips to those who chip in money to their campaigns. The contests are getting increasingly elaborate as candidates jostle to stay afloat.

Two of the splashiest giveaways landed this week from former Maryland congressman John Delaney and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (BOO'-tuh-juhj).

Delaney is offering a trip for two to join him in Washington for Game 4 of the World Series. Buttigieg is promising a trip to San Francisco for two to watch "Hamilton" with his husband, Chasten.
