President Joe Biden celebrated US Independence Day on Sunday with an upbeat assessment of a country he said is roaring back to post-pandemic life, even if Covid-19 has yet to be fully 'vanquished.'
After meeting with 1,000 service members, he took in the spectacular 25-minute fireworks display from the Truman balcony overlooking the National Mall with his family by his side.
By his side was First Lady Jill Biden, who was decked out in a $1,095 white lace Jonathan Simkhi dress. Also with him was his daughter Ashley, dressed in red, who sidled up to her father and shared a tender moment with him before she placed a kiss on his cheek.
Biden's granddaughters were also close by their side - Naomi, 27, Finnegan, 21, and Maisy all celebrated on the balcony, but their father Hunter was nowhere to be seen.
