In recent weeks, the National Mall has become a bustling hub as visitors gather for the “Great American State Fair,” an event celebrating 250 years of American history. The fair represents a moment meant to unify the nation in commemoration of its milestone anniversary.
However, in this significant year, President Trump’s approach to these celebrations has added a more partisan tone to an otherwise inclusive occasion. Events designed to foster unity among Americans are experiencing a shift in atmosphere.
Liz Landers, a correspondent for PBS News Hour, reports from the fair. Her coverage extends to the White House and the Trump administration. Before her tenure at PBS News Hour, Landers worked as a national security correspondent for Scripps News and focused on issues of disinformation within the network.
