Writing from Nantucket in Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and the first lady visited Massachusetts for their usual Thanksgiving routine. They handed out pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters, and medics in Nantucket and spoke with members of the armed services. This is a tradition that they have been doing since 1975.
During a rainy day on the island, many people stayed indoors while President Biden visited the Nantucket fire station. He appeared happy as he greeted the officers on duty, exchanging baseball caps with them and showing his grandson Beau around the station.
The president thought deeply about the current political atmosphere in the United States and encouraged citizens to stay true to their values, avoid negative messages, and be mindful of the news they consume.
After looking at recent polls showing that most Americans are worried about the country’s direction, Mr. Biden stated that he thinks this is because fewer people are tuning in to traditional news sources and the TV news is presenting things in a overly negative way.
He suggested that the reason for this could be the lack of positive news on television.
Despite his message of hope for the future, the president acknowledged that there may be obstacles for President-elect Donald J. Trump. He suggested that Congress may push Mr. Trump to adjust some of his plans and also expressed some reservations about his successor’s recent ideas.
