WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, on Monday were hosting the children of local firefighters, nurses, police officers and National Guard members for trick-or-treating at the White House on Halloween. But it was shaping up to be a soggy affair.
It will be the Bidens' first time welcoming trick-or-treaters as president and first lady. They were in Europe for Halloween last year, their first in the White House. Instead, they had the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the executive mansion lit up in orange for the spooky holiday.
Scores of costumed children on Monday were expected to stream through the gates to the south side of the White House, where Biden and his wife will hand out treats.
