Coming to you live from Nantucket, Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and first lady of the United States visited Massachusetts as part of their usual Thanksgiving activities. They brought pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters, and medics in Nantucket and also phoned members of the military. This has been a tradition for their family since 1975.
During a rainy day on Thursday, most people stayed indoors on the island. However, President Biden visited the Nantucket fire station and greeted the officers on duty with a smile. He also exchanged baseball caps with them and showed his grandson Beau around the station.
The president spent a considerable amount of time discussing the current political atmosphere in the United States, encouraging Americans to stay true to their values, avoid pessimistic viewpoints, and be mindful of the information they consume from the media.
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 tuning in to traditional news sources and the negative outlook often portrayed on television.
He mentioned that there might be a reason for that. When you watch TV, you usually see more negative news than positive news.
Despite urging Americans to stay positive during uncertain times, the president acknowledged that President-elect Donald J. Trump may face challenges ahead. He suggested that Congress could push for changes to some of Mr. Trump’s plans and also expressed some criticism towards his successor’s recent ideas.
