Biden emphasizes national unity in Christmas address

President Joe Biden attempted to strike a unifying message in a Christmas speech to the nation that came as he moves into the second half of his term in office.

“The message of Christmas is always important, but it’s especially important through tough times like the ones we’ve been through the past few years,” Biden said from the White House. “The pandemic has taken so much from us. We’ve lost so much time with one another, we’ve lost so many people, people we loved – over a million lives lost in America alone.”
