Biden and Trump offer vastly different choices on Americans to admire

In the last month or so, both President Biden and President-elect Trump have put forth a group of Americans they believe are America’s finest: people we should honor, admire and emulate.  

Biden revealed his choices in two White House ceremonies, awarding one group of Americans the Presidential Citizens Medal and another the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Trump put forth his brand of outstanding Americans as nominees to serve in his Cabinet. The differences between the two groups could not be more striking.
