Many Americans still see cause to celebrate this July 4 despite political turmoil rocking nation

U.S. President Joe Biden tweeted on Monday that the country’s ‘best days still lie ahead’ as the July 4 holiday gave a roiled nation an occasion to pause

Independence Day has arrived as the United States is rocked by hearings over the Jan. 6 insurrection, awash in turmoil over high court rulings on abortion and guns and struggling to maintain the bonds that keep it together.
