President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden traveled to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on Monday afternoon to hold a "Friendsgiving" celebration with military service members and their families.
"I want to thank not only the warriors, I want to thank your family because they stand and wait," Biden said at Fort Bragg. "I know how hard it is to have someone that's not at the table on a holiday, that are in harm's way, find themselves out of the country."
He recounted his late son Beau's service in Iraq and work in Kosovo, and called US service members the "finest in the world."

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
