“My job is not to rain,” the president said as he stood with First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and thousands of children and their families for the day event.

Instead of talking about the border wall and other campaign rhetoric, Trump threw signed hats at the crowd and Donald Trump Jr. proclaimed the daughter the “winner” of the egg race. feeling, billed as “egg roll”. Jill Biden, a college teacher, made the introduction from the south balcony of the lawn, framed by her husband and two large Easter bunnies: As your first lady and as a teacher, I have seen time and time again that learning is not just about the classroom. There are so many fun opportunities to learn around us every day. And this is especially true here in the White House. For generations, presidents and first ladies, and children like you, have been celebrating Easter together, making games and making crafts, reading books and, of course, meeting the Easter Bunny. Education never stops. The decisive spirit of education is what we wanted to honor in this Easter roll. So we turned the south lawn into a school community. About 30,000 children and their families were invited to attend the celebration. In addition to the roll and egg hunt, the events included a school activity area, a reading corner, a talent show, an agricultural teaching area, a photography station, a natural barrier-free “egg-feeding” area, and a “cafeteria” where children would learn to make delicacies according to Reuters. The costume characters included several from Dr Seuss’ Sesame Street and The Cat in the Hat. Since its first appearance on Easter Monday in 1878, The White House egg roll has traditionally been hosted as a non-political event. Biden said: “It’s so special. It means so much to see the children and all the families show up, the joy, the laughter “.
