Noem told Fox News that the White House “departed from longstanding precedent and reneged on this agreement without any meaningful explanation."

“Noem had asked President Biden to uphold a 2019 memorandum agreement between the National Parks Service and the state, which allowed the return of the fireworks event for 2020,” Noem reported.

Mount Rushmore is the very best place to celebrate America’s birthday and all that makes our country special. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration cancelled our Mount Rushmore Fireworks Celebration.
