Obama expecting 700 to attend his 60th birthday party despite COVID

Former President Barack Obama will reportedly have nearly 700 people at his celeb-packed 60th birthday bash in Martha’s Vineyard — even as officials warn of the dangers of large gatherings during the ongoing pandemic.

The 44th commander in chief will have at least 200 staff on hand at his Massachusetts home this weekend to cater to the 475 invited guests, including Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and Steven Spielberg, according to Axios and The Hill. Pearl Jam will perform, with a local hairdresser retained to style the hair of an unidentified member of the band, Axios reported.
