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.
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.

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.
"Can I have 30 milkshakes and some chicken?" Trump can be heard asking the employees. "We’re going to take care of the customers."
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 "a lot of money."

Trump also praised the Chick-fil-A brand, saying, "They do very well." He also joked that he knew the menu better than the employees.
Trump then instructed the staff that he was going to hand them out to the customers and take some for his entourage.
The videographer then jokingly said, "It’s the Lord’s chicken," and Trump agreed.
"It’s the Lord’s chicken, you’re right," he said. "It’s good chicken, too."
