Juneteenth has been a federal holiday since 2021. Federal and state government offices are generally closed as a result, along with banks and stock exchanges, but private businesses aren't required to close for Juneteenth or any other holiday, and many retail establishments remain open.

A public holiday, national holiday, federal holiday, statutory holiday, bank holiday or legal holiday is a holiday generally established by law and is usually a non-working day during the year.

On January 20, 2025, Karoline Leavitt became the 36th White House press secretary.
