Hunter Biden not among celebrities on White House guest list for Australia state dinner

October 25, 2023 05:58 PM

Australian musician Vance Joy and rapper Kid Laroi will rub shoulders with President Joe Biden and other government and business luminaries during the U.S.-Australia state dinner.

Republican lawmakers, such as Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD), will attend Biden’s fourth state dinner Wednesday, alongside members of the first family, except for his embattled son Hunter. The first son was invited to last summer’s India state dinner, held days after he reached a plea deal for federal tax and gun crimes.
