Todd (state dinner guest)

Todd functions as a minor but recognizable social acquaintance within the Washington social circuit, briefly named at a White House state dinner. Carl spots Todd and departs to speak with him, which frames Todd as someone familiar to major donors and guests rather than a formal staffer or public official. Todd's presence operates as a connective background node, anchoring the scene’s social geography and implying recurring attendance at elite gatherings despite no on‑screen dialogue or direct interaction in this episode.
