The second family, led by Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance, hosted a Halloween party at the vice president's residence, featuring a Harry Potter theme. The event included trick or treating, decorations, and a canned food drive to collect soup and other goods for those in need.
The party was attended by families from various groups, including the administration, staff, military, and Secret Service, who were encouraged to bring canned goods to donate to the community. The Vice President's four children, Mirabel, Vivek, Ewan, and baby Alec, participated in the festivities, dressing up in Harry Potter costumes and trick or treating on the Naval Observatory property.
The decorations included elements from the Harry Potter series, such as the train station to Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets, and Quidditch equipment, creating an immersive experience for the guests. The event was seen as a way to bring people together and give back to the community, with Usha Vance noting that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
The party was the second annual Halloween celebration at the vice president's residence.
