What Do Joe Biden and the National Christmas Tree Have in Common?

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Christmas Tree on the Mall in Washington D.C. and President Biden have one thing in common; they both have fallen on the job.  

It seems the National Christmas tree had a dramatic tango with Washington's gusty winds! Picture this: the tree doing a high-flying dance routine, attempting a mid-air somersault, only to gracefully land on its side like a tree-shaped gymnast! CNN had a front-row seat to this unexpected performance around 4:40 p.m. Tuesday. Brave workers even had to play tree rescuers, climbing atop the festive foliage to set it upright again.

Despite this tree-toppling spectacle, fear not! The grand show, the National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, is still on the cards for Thursday. It's like the tree is saying, "I might have taken a tumble, but the show must glow on!"

Of course, CNN, being the ever-inquisitive reporter, reached out to the National Park Service for the inside scoop on this tree-top drama. Who knows what secrets the wind-whispering tree and the workers might share!
