Writing from Nantucket, 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 in Nantucket. They also called members of the armed services, which has been a tradition for their family since 1975.
During a rainy day on Thursday, many people stayed indoors on the island. However, President Biden was seen smiling as he visited the Nantucket fire station. He greeted and exchanged baseball caps with the officers on duty, all while showing his grandson Beau around the hall.
The president spent some time thinking about the current political atmosphere in the United States, advising Americans to remain true to their values, avoid pessimistic stories, and be mindful of what news they are consuming.
After looking at recent polls showing that most Americans are worried about the state of the country, President Biden suggested that this may be due to the decreasing viewership of traditional news sources and the negative outlook portrayed on television.
He suggested that the lack of good news on television could be the reason for that.
Despite urging Americans to stay positive despite uncertainty, the president acknowledged there may be challenges ahead for President-elect Donald J. Trump. He suggested that Congress could push Mr. Trump to adjust some of his plans and also made some mild criticisms of his successor’s recent ideas.
