The launch of President Donald Trump’s Freedom250 group last year has led to a fierce rivalry with America250, the nonpartisan Congressional commission that has been planning the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations for a decade, according to a report.
America250 is the organization created by Congress in 2016 to lead the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The idea behind the group was to put on events across the country that everyone could enjoy.
