Writing from the location of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and first lady in Massachusetts followed their usual Thanksgiving tradition of delivering pumpkin pies to first responders on Nantucket. They also called members of the military, continuing a family tradition that began in 1975.
On Thursday, when heavy rains hit the island, President Biden visited the Nantucket fire station and interacted with the officers on duty. He was seen smiling and shaking hands while exploring the fire station with his grandson Beau.
The president thought deeply about the current political atmosphere in the United States and encouraged Americans to stay true to their values, avoid excessively pessimistic views, and be mindful of the news they consume.
During a recent reflection, Mr. Biden noted that the majority of Americans are worried about the direction of the country. He suggested that this concern may be influenced by the declining viewership of traditional news sources and the negative outlook often portrayed on television.
He suggested that the reason for this may be due to the fact that when you watch television, you are not typically exposed to a lot of positive news.
Despite urging Americans to stay positive during uncertain times, the president acknowledged potential challenges for President-elect Donald J. Trump. He suggested that Congress may push Mr. Trump to adjust some of his plans and also made subtle critiques of his successor’s recent ideas.
