Writing from the location of Nantucket in Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and the first lady visited various locations in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. They handed out pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters, and medics on Nantucket. They also called members of the armed services, keeping up with a family tradition that started in 1975.
During heavy rain on Thursday, many people stayed indoors, but President Biden seemed happy as he visited the Nantucket fire station. He greeted the officers on duty, exchanged baseball caps with them, and showed his grandson Beau around the building.
After contemplating for a while, the president discussed the current political atmosphere in the United States, advising Americans to stay true to their values, avoid pessimistic viewpoints, and be mindful of what news they are exposed to.
After looking at recent polls showing that most Americans are worried about the country’s direction, Mr. Biden suggested that this may be due to fewer people turning to traditional news sources and the negative outlook often portrayed on television.
He suggested that there is a reason for that. When you watch television, you’re more likely to see negative news rather than positive news.
Despite urging Americans to stay positive during uncertain times, the president acknowledged there may be challenges for President-elect Donald J. Trump in the future. He suggested that Congress could push Mr. Trump to make adjustments to his plans and also offered some criticism of his successor’s recent ideas.
