Writing from Nantucket, Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and the first lady visited Massachusetts for their usual Thanksgiving tradition. They handed out pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters, and medics in Nantucket, while also reaching out to members of the armed forces. This tradition has been a part of their family since 1975.
During a rainy day on Thursday, many people stayed indoors, but President Biden decided to visit the Nantucket fire station. He greeted and interacted with the officers on duty, even exchanging baseball caps with them, all while walking 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 pessimistic stories, and be mindful of the news they consume.
Mr. Biden shared his thoughts on recent public opinion surveys that revealed many Americans are worried about the country’s direction. He believes this concern is due to the declining viewership of traditional news sources and the negative outlook portrayed on television.
He believed there was a reason for that, pointing out that when you watch television, there is usually a lack of positive news stories.
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 might push Mr. Trump to adjust some of his plans and also made some subtle criticisms of his successor’s recent ideas.
