**Celebration and Safety: Record Travel Marks Independence Day Amid Economic Resurgence**

As Americans gear up to celebrate Independence Day, a record-breaking 72 million people are set to travel this holiday period, showcasing the nation’s renewed spirit and resilience.

According to AAA, from June 28 to July 6, families and friends will hit the roads and skies in numbers not seen since before the pandemic. This surge of 2.4% in travelers compared to last year, and 7 million more than in 2019, illustrates a vibrant economy and the nation’s desire to gather and celebrate freedom.


Remarkably, almost 85% of these travelers—approximately 62 million—will choose the road over air travel. The trend highlights the enduring appeal of summer road trips and the American tradition of family vacations.

Moreover, travelers can find relief at the pump with gas prices remaining lower than expected, a testament to economic policies that prioritize American energy independence and affordability.

Despite the festive spirit, state officials urge constituents to travel safely. The Texas Department of Public Safety will enact Operation CARE, increasing patrols to target risky driving behaviors. Past efforts have resulted in thousands of citations and arrests for reckless driving, reminding us all to prioritize safety on the road.

In the midst of these celebrations, the nation also sees an impressive jobs report that underscores a significant economic rebound. Under President Donald Trump, jobs are being created at a remarkable pace, with recent data indicating that nearly 150,000 jobs were added in June, all going to American-born workers. This marks a stark contrast to previous months under different leadership, where economic growth largely benefitted foreign-born workers.

The reality is clear: the policies implemented during the Trump administration are paying off. Wages are up, and American workers are finding new opportunities for employment. As the Fourth of July approaches, the positive job numbers serve as a reminder of the results achieved when America prioritizes its own workforce and enforces immigration policies that protect American jobs.

On this Independence Day, as millions of Americans travel to honor the nation’s founding principles, they do so against a backdrop of economic growth and renewed hope for the future. It's a celebration of freedom, opportunity, and the strength of the American spirit—qualities that should always be upheld and cherished.
