Why didn’t Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Schumer make Juneteenth a federal holiday a decade ago?

Oh, because this day came into big focus only when Trump had planned to return campaigning on 6/19/20. Storm ensued so he pushed off by one day.

To own Trump, a federal holiday was born.
Check the Twitter feed of many congressional Dems, TV heads and pundits. They literally never sent a tweet about Juneteenth before it became an issue to own Trump last year.

Now it’s a federal holding.

Ya, if only Trump tweeted less.
You think I am joking? Before Trump tried hosting a rally on #Juneteenth last year, @SpeakerPelosi’s account had tweeted only 4 times abut this day in all her years on Twitter.

Last year, she tweeted another 4 times; more than all years until then combined.

Now it’s a holiday!
