President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump welcomed children and families to the White House South Lawn for the annual Halloween celebration, handing out candy amid harvest-themed decorations and music from an Air Force ensemble. The event included military, law-enforcement, foster and adoptive families, as well as administration officials and their families. A plane made passes over the lawn, drawing the president’s attention, while construction on the planned White House ballroom continued nearby. One account also described the gathering as a political showcase during the midterm season.
