WASHINGTON - Taking a trip this summer to Washington, D.C.?
If you plan things just right, you might be able to enjoy a tour of the White House.
On Monday, June 27, the White House announced that it would resume a full tour schedule — nearly a year-and-a-half after pandemic-driven restrictions on visits, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Back in March 2020, when President Trump was still in the White House, tours were suspended due to COVID-19. Those tours resumed in September 2020.
However, when President Biden took office, tours were again suspended.
