Biden says he went to his house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, because he can’t go ‘home home’

President Joe Biden explained his presence in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after attending Mass at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church. Addressing reporters without prompting, he clarified that he wasn’t on vacation and expressed the unique situation he’s facing. While residing at the White House during weekdays, he spends most weekends in Delaware, where he owns two residences. However, due to ongoing security enhancements by the U.S. Secret Service on his primary residence in Wilmington, Delaware, he hasn’t been able to return there for a few months.

Biden emphasized that he lacks a traditional home to go to when in Delaware, except for his current location in Rehoboth Beach. He specified that his visit was for just one day. His journey to the Delaware coast was a result of altering his plans to spend Labor Day weekend there, following his inspection of Hurricane Idalia’s aftermath in Florida.

Despite facing criticism from the Republican National Committee for leaving the White House on weekends, Biden shared that he has a single beautiful home. He stressed that he is not homeless but can’t return to his primary residence due to the ongoing security modifications, explaining that he is “down here for the day because I can’t go home home.”

Biden is set to speak at an AFL-CIO rally in Philadelphia on Monday after his brief stay in Delaware. This situation emerged two weeks after he and his family enjoyed a vacation in Nevada’s Lake Tahoe region. Notably, this particular circumstance showcases his dedication to his responsibilities even while dealing with logistical challenges surrounding his residences.
