See how America celebrated the Fourth of July
Independence Day parades, another Joey Chestnut win and fireworks marked Friday's Fourth of July celebrations across the U.S.
- Celebrations were set to the backdrop of anti-Trump protests, increased cookout costs due to tariffs and the passing of the president's "big, beautiful bill."
