President Joe Biden speaks on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, July 4, 2021, during a celebration to both commemorate the July 4 holiday and herald the administration’s progress toward overcoming the pandemic. President Biden on Thursday, July 29, sought to revive the nation’s stalled push to vaccinate Americans against the surging Delta variant of the coronavirus, announcing new requirements for federal workers to be vaccinated and urging local and state governments to offer $100 to anyone willing to get a shot voluntarily.
