President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden delivered a message of hope on Easter Sunday, encouraging more Americans to get vaccinated. In a video posted to Biden's Twitter account, the president said the White House echoes the sentiments of Pope Francis who described getting vaccinated as a 'moral obligation' and stressed the importance of widespread inoculations to resuming traditional Holy Week activities in the future.
Vice President Kamala Harris also issued a video statement declaring there is "always reason for hope" amid the Easter holiday. Harris added she and the first lady were looking forward to resuming the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll in the future, as it was canceled for the second consecutive Easter this year due to the pandemic.
