Is America's 250th birthday celebration too partisan?

This weekend, the United States marks its 250th birthday, and what Congress intended to be a nonpartisan, patriotic celebration has instead become — like seemingly everything else — partisan. We discuss how the event became fraught with politics and a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll showing that American pride is also deeply divided along partisan lines. Plus, a special Thursday edition of Can't Let It Go. This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
