Donnie understood his current status, so during the fundraising process that followed, he chose not to stand out and, just like everyone else, donated 5000 US dollars!
Normally, at such banquets, Harding, like a distinguished social butterfly, flitted from one guest to another, engaging in small talk and expressing his goodwill.
Accompanying Harding, naturally, was Florence, who, at that moment, had a smile on her face that completely belied her typically harsh demeanor.
After the banquet, Nucky was asked to stay behind.
Donnie was not among them.
"Donnie, I'm counting on you for tomorrow's affair!"
Before Donnie left, Nucky found him and said with a smile, "I'm going to play poker with Harding tonight, and it will probably last until the morning!"
During Harding's term as President of the United States, his Cabinet was also known as the Poker Cabinet, due to Harding's fondness for playing poker and often summoning his Cabinet members to play at the White House.
