President Joe Biden celebrated the Fourth of July with a cookout at the White House, noting that the nation has made great strides but also taken “a few steps backward.”
“As it’s been before in our history, in times of war and division, of growth and change, the Fourth of July comes at a critical moment,” Biden said in a late-afternoon event on the lawn of the executive mansion, surrounded by members of the armed forces, their families and other guests.
