On Monday, the Bidens hosted a traditional Halloween party at the White House. The guests of the event – about 8,000 of them came – were in the traditional images of monsters and monsters for this holiday. The son of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stood out noticeably against their background – his entertaining parents dressed him up as President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.

Officials of US federal ministries and departments and their leaders with their families came to the holiday. Among them is the head of American diplomacy with his wife and children. Unlike other kids dressed up as dinosaurs, skeletons, zombies, etc., Blinken’s son was dressed in a sweatshirt and khaki pants – just like Zelensky looks like all the last months. And so that no one would have any doubts about what the image of Blinken Jr. symbolizes, he had a badge with the flag of Ukraine on his chest. The Blinkens’ daughter, in turn, was dressed in a blue dress with a yellow scarf.
Party host Joe Biden greeted guests in a casual business suit and baseball cap, and his wife Jill, who treated the children to candy, appeared as a cat, over which she had to throw a coat because of the unusually chilly weather.
Rain accompanied Halloween at the White House last year, and the year before, the Bidens did not throw a party at all because they were on a trip abroad. In Russia this holiday they want to ban at all.
