U.S. President Joe Biden was recently spotted relaxing on a Delaware beach for the second consecutive week, choosing to unwind with his family rather than dwell on the political tensions within his party.
After departing on vacation on August 19, the 81-year-old president visited North Shores, which is close to Rehoboth Beach, with First Lady Jill Biden and her sisters.
Biden has chosen to adopt a more low-key strategy, leaving the Oval Office for over ten days, even though he had pledged to “finish strong” in the last months of his administration.
This vacation comes at a time when reports suggest that Biden is intentionally keeping a low profile, partly due to frustrations with fellow Democrats who have distanced themselves from him, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Rather than retaliate, Biden has chosen to demonstrate his maturity by focusing on his well-being and family time.
“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races,” Biden said in a recent interview with CBS News. He added, “I thought it’d be a real distraction,” indicating his decision to avoid stirring up further controversy within his party.
After spending time at a billionaire donor’s estate in California, Biden returned to his Rehoboth Beach vacation home, where he is expected to stay through Friday, according to the White House schedule.
This extended break reflects Biden’s desire to recharge and maintain his composure, despite the internal party challenges and ongoing political pressures.
By choosing to focus on personal peace and family, Biden has shown a different approach to leadership, prioritizing resilience and stability over political retaliation.
