Watch parties planned in metro Atlanta

Leaders of both parties are using the event to raise funds for their campaigns.

The Georgia Democratic Party is hosting an official watch party in Atlanta where tickets start at $24 for advance purchase. Those who want to be recognized as “BFD” donors (a reference to Biden’s spicy moment signing the Affordable Care Act) will have to pay $2,400.

Former Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler and her Wall Street husband, Jeff Sprecher, are hosting an event that Trump is expected to attend alongside the host of allies vying to become his running mate. The minimum requirement to attend is to donate or raise at least $10,000 for the GOP ticket.

There are also many smaller events across the state where attendance is free and RSVP is encouraged but not required. Organizers simply hope that attendees will spend money at the restaurants and breweries that will serve as hosts.
