Biden’s last visit to Nantucket as President involved his usual activities, where he thanked the progress made towards peace in the Middle East and encouraged Americans to maintain a sense of hope.

Writing from the location of Nantucket, 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 also phoned members of the armed forces. This 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 visited the Nantucket fire station with a smile on his face. He greeted the officers on duty, exchanged baseball caps with them, and walked through the hall with his grandson Beau.
After thinking about it for a while, the president talked about the current political atmosphere in the United States. He encouraged Americans to stay true to their values, avoid focusing too much on negative stories, and be mindful of where they get their news from.
After looking at recent public opinion polls showing that most Americans are worried about the country’s direction, Mr. Biden suggested that this could be due to fewer people relying on traditional news sources and the negative tone often seen on television.
He suggested that the reason for this could be the lack of positive news on television when you tune in.
Despite his message of optimism, the president acknowledged that President-elect Donald J. Trump may face challenges in the future. He suggested that Congress might push Trump to adjust some of his plans and also expressed some mild disapproval of Trump’s recent ideas.
