High winds knocked down the National Christmas Tree outside the White House on Tuesday.
The tree was toppled just two days before Biden was set to light it for the annual Christmas lighting ceremony.

The first Christmas tree that was set up had to be replaced after it developed fungus.

The National Christmas Tree Biden was supposed to light Thursday just got toppled over like a ragdoll by DC wind today: “They’re not even certain if this tree is salvageable at this point!”
