fundraisers for rich donors. In 2019 photos surfaced in which Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, IN was seated with rich donors in a Napa valley wine cave for a fundraising event. During Dec. 2019 debate,
Elizabeth Warren attacked Buttigieg for appealing to rich donors instead of
grassroots supporters by using this imagery. A few minute later, Andrew Yang stated his campaign reform policy would increase women and minority elected to offices around the country because "they don't have to shake the money tree in a wine cave", gesturing to Buttigieg.
