At Romanian embassy in DC unusual mix of American politics and Romanian culture created one-of-a-kind election party. Ambassador made light-hearted jokes while highlighting importance of US leadership

At a pre-election gathering the Romanian embassy mixed up American-style mini-burgers with east-european cabbage rolls while setting-up an eye catching display: life-sized cut-outs of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump stood among NATO EU and national flags

The embassy went all-in with bi-partisan decor: theres election-themed drinks‚ two TV-sets showing different news channels (one Fox one CNN) and red-white-and-blue party stuff everywhere. The table decor had only elephant cut-outs which staff said wasnt on purpose - the donkey ones got stuck somewhere in shipping

A carefully-picked playlist ran through the night with songs like:

  • Bob Dylans protest anthem
  • John Lennons peace-loving hit
  • John Mayers world-change tune

Everyone in Romania knows who RFK Jr is ‚ Dracula has not made an appearance in this election

Ambassador Andrei Muraru joked with guests

The mood stayed super-casual even though everyone knew whats at stake. Muraru got serious for a sec though: Its Washington who sets the tone and its Washington we look to as a model for leadership
