WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, have kicked off the first White House Easter Egg Roll since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Rain dampened Monday’s activities but spirits were high among the thousands of children and adults who streamed through the gates. Many were prepared with umbrellas and rain ponchos. Biden said it was so special to be able to gather again and to see and hear the joy and laughter of children. Jill Biden turned the South Lawn into a school community. The first lady is a teacher and said the event celebrates the “determined spirit of education.”
