Writing from Nantucket, Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and first lady of the United States visited various locations in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. They gave pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters, and medics on Nantucket, and also reached out to members of the military. This has been a tradition for their family since 1975.
During a rainy day on Thursday, many people stayed indoors, but President Biden was seen visiting the Nantucket fire station. He smiled, greeted the officers, exchanged baseball caps, and walked through the building with his grandson Beau.
The president spent a considerable amount of time discussing the current political atmosphere in the United States. He encouraged Americans to stay true to their values, avoid pessimistic stories, and be mindful of where they get their news from.
Mr. Biden remarked on how recent public opinion polls have revealed that many Americans are worried about the country’s direction. He suggested that this may be because fewer people are turning to traditional news sources and because TV news tends to focus on negative aspects.
He mentioned that he believes there is a reason for that. When you watch television, you tend to see more negative news than positive news.
The president remained hopeful and encouraged Americans to stay positive despite the uncertainty, but at the same time, he foresaw challenges for President-elect Donald J. Trump. He anticipated that Mr. Trump might have to make adjustments to his plans due to pressure from Congress, and also expressed some mild criticism towards his successor’s recent ideas.
