President Biden on Sunday celebrated the United States near independence from the coronavirus, stressing unity against it and other challenges on his first Fourth of July as president.
“Today, all across this nation, we can say with confidence: America is coming back together,” Biden said in his address. “Two hundred and forty-five years ago we declared independence from a distant king. Today, we re closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus. That’s not to say the battle against COVID-19 is over. We’ve got a lot more work to do.
But, he added, it no longer paralyzes our nation, and it is within our power to make sure it never does again.
