U.S. President Joe Biden is celebrating the country’s Independence Day holiday with a series of events Tuesday at the White House.
The president and first lady Jill Biden are holding an event with the National Education Association, and then hosting military families for a barbecue.
Biden is scheduled to deliver remarks in the evening to commemorate the holiday with a crowd of military and veteran families along with caregivers at the White House.
