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, as well as made phone calls to members of the armed forces. This has been a tradition for their family since 1975.
During a rainy day on Thursday, President Biden visited a fire station on Nantucket Island. He greeted the officers on duty, exchanged baseball caps with them, and walked through the station with his grandson Beau. Most people stayed indoors due to the rain, but President Biden seemed happy and engaged during his visit.
The president thought deeply about the current political atmosphere in the United States, encouraging Americans to stay true to their values, avoid pessimistic stories, and be mindful of the news they consume.
After viewing recent polls showing that most Americans are worried about the country’s direction, Mr. Biden suggested that this may be due to fewer people relying on traditional news sources and the negative viewpoints presented on television.
He suggested that the reason for this could be that when people watch TV, they are often exposed to negative news rather 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 may push Trump to adjust some of his plans and also expressed mild disapproval of some of Trump’s recent ideas.
