Heather Cox Richardson on Trump’s 250th Celebrations
"At least 8 states— Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Maine, Oregon, Washington, and Pennsylvania, all blue states— have said they will not take part in the fair."
Eight Democratic-leaning states are refusing to participate in Trump's planned Great American State Fair as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations. Richardson contextualized this as states rejecting Trump's attempt to claim ownership of national celebrations rather than a 1860s-style secession, noting Americans are finding alternative ways to celebrate including Juneteenth.
