  • The Freedom 250 celebration on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., faced disruptions due to severe weather, leading to evacuations and the cancellation of the Independence Day parade.
  • Donald Trump delivered a speech late Saturday evening after weather delays, saying that 150,000 people returned to the National Mall following an earlier evacuation of 375,000.
  • During his address, Trump emphasized America's success, promoted his agenda, including the SAVE America Act, strongly condemned communism and declared that “America is a nation of winners.”
  • Trump also featured the Artemis II mission crew on stage and made a verbal gaffe, saying “immortible”, which garnered online mockery.
  • The Fourth of July celebrations concluded with a massive fireworks display over Washington, D.C., shortly after midnight, following Trump's speech.
