U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden walk out of the White House to host a Halloween event on the South Lawn of the White House on October 30, 2023 in Washington, DC. Public school students, military-connected children and neighborhood families were invited to the White House for trick-or-treating. Gray skies and drizzle added a spooky element and books were as abundant as candy at Halloween eve trick-or-treating that President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden hosted at the White House. Monday’s “Hallo-READ!” event featured book giveaways and story readings by the first lady, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and authors.
