“He will discuss the many sacrifices that the American people have made over the last year and the grave loss communities and families across the country have suffered,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday. “The president will look forward, highlighting the role that Americans will play in beating the virus and moving the country to getting back to normal.”
