While former President Trump was out on the campaign trail meeting with everyday Americans at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Georgia on Wednesday, President Biden was fine dining with the Clintons and other prestigious guests at the White House.<\/p>\n
In Atlanta, Trump met with locals and had unscripted conversations, bought them \u2018the Lord\u2019s chicken\u2019 and urged them to support his third bid for the presidency. More than 500 miles away, in Washington, D.C., Biden hosted Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at a White House State Dinner.<\/p>\n
Some notable attendees of the dinner included: Bill and Hillary Clinton, Amazon\u2019s Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, Apple CEO Tim Cook, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, BlackRock CEO Laurence Fink, actor Robert DeNiro and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, former president of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards and others.<\/p>\n
Several of Biden\u2019s family also attended. These included the president\u2019s daughter, Ashley Biden and her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, and Hunter Biden\u2019s daughters, Finnegan Biden and Naomi Biden Neal.<\/p>\n
Several lawmakers and state executives also attended the distinguished dinner, including Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gov. Tony Evers of Wisconsin, and Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina.<\/p>\n
\u2018Today, without question, our alliance is literally stronger than it\u2019s ever been,\u2019 Biden said at the dinner, referencing the U.S.-Japan relationship. \u2018Tonight, we pledge to keep going. We stand at an inflection point where the decisions we make now are going to determine the course of the future for decades to come. A future that the kids of our two families and children of our two countries remember. But I also know that Japan and the United States stand together and everyone should know that as well, committed to each other and committed to keeping building the future worthy of the highest hopes.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Japanese prime minister also shared brief remarks, saying he and his wife were \u2018speechless\u2019 by the number of \u2018huge number of prominent American and Japanese guests.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Mr. President. Dr. Biden. Distinguished guests and ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for hosting such a wonderful dinner and your warm welcome and hospitality,\u2019 Kishida said. \u2018First and foremost, to be honest, my breath is taken and I\u2019m speechless in front of such a huge number of prominent American and Japanese guests. And my wife Yuko, also left breathless, just told me that it was hard to tell who the guest of honor is.\u2019<\/p>\n
Fox News Digital made repeated attempts to reach out to the Trump and Biden campaigns for a statement but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n
In contrast, the presumptive Republican nominee joined everyday Americans at a Chick-fil-A restaurant, where he chatted with staff and treated customers inside the store to chicken and milkshakes.<\/p>\n
\u2018Can I have 30 milkshakes and some chicken?\u2019 Trump can be heard asking the employees. \u2018We\u2019re going to take care of the customers.\u2019<\/p>\n
In various videos of the exchange, Trump is seen surrounded and conversing with a group of people. The former president flattered crew members and asked if they were making \u2018a lot of money.\u2019<\/p>\n
