Quick Glance: White House Easter Egg Roll Draws Huge Crowd Following Storm Delayed Start
- The start of the Easter egg roll at the White House was delayed by 90 minutes due to thunder and lightning, before the event kicked off under gray skies with a large crowd, including many children wearing ponchos or colorful jackets against light rain.
- More than 40,000 people, 10,000 more than the previous year, were expected to participate in guiding hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line. This year's theme of 'EGG-ucation' was led by Jill Biden, a teacher for over 30 years.
- President Joe Biden emphasized that Easter serves as a reminder of the power of hope, renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection, primarily focusing on love and grace towards others. He also highlighted the significance of values and blessings that Americans hold.
- Guests at the egg roll included thousands of military and veteran families, alongside their caregivers and survivors. Tickets for attendance were allocated to the general public through an online lottery, with entry granted in nine waves spanning until the evening.
