Candidates' guest lists: the Trump flock and Ohio workerspublished at 18:47 British Summer Time 29 September 2020
The Biden campaign announced that the candidate will have two Ohioans, external as his personal guests at tonight's debate: James Evanoff Jr, a union steelworker, and Gurneé Green, an essential worker and clothing shop owner.
Green was previously featured in a video for the Democratic National Convention. She told a local news outlet, external at the time that she and multiple members of her family contracted coronavirus, and that her small business suffered in the pandemic.
Unsurprisingly, President Trump listed his adult children and their spouses on his guest list - that means Ivanka, Don Jr, Eric and Tiffany will all be in attendance.
In 2016, Trump memorably invited four women, external who accused former president Bill Clinton of sexual harassment and assault, reportedly to "rattle" then-opponent Hillary Clinton. Thus far, no word of similarly explosive invitees.
