CAPE ELIZABETH Jill Biden celebrated the July Fourth weekend with a statement of independence – both political and from the pandemic – during a visit to Portland Head Light on Saturday.
“This Fourth of July rings in a new independence: a breaking away from the despair that we all felt for so long and the beginning of a chapter of hope in the story of us,” the first lady said in Cape Elizabeth. “Finally, finally, America is back together.”
Biden was visiting Maine and New Hampshire on Saturday to celebrate a holiday weekend mostly free from the shackles of the coronavirus and tout the current administration’s role in making that freedom happen. As part of the “America’s Back Together” tour, President Biden traveled to Michigan this weekend.
