The Biden administration is urging state and local officials across America to hold Independence Day celebrations this year — but is standing firm in preventing a fireworks display from being held at Mount Rushmore.
Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem tweeted out a letter Tuesday from the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs that read in part: “Thanks to the Biden administration’s whole of government pandemic response, the United States has made incredible progress in vaccinating Americans and getting our country back on track …
“On July 4, because of our strong response, America will mark independence from the virus by celebrating with events across the country …,” the letter continued. “We welcome you to join us by hosting your own events to honor our freedom, salute those who have been serving on the frontlines, and celebrate our progress in fighting this pandemic.”
