Having visited Delaware 31 times since taking office in January, President Joe Biden has spent the majority of weekends there this year. Biden is setting a new precedent for the President of the United States to leave Washington, D.C., nearly every weekend.

The Delaware News Journal reported that the President took part in a virtual weekly economic briefing from his beach house Monday.

The White House has refused to release visitor logs from his two Delaware homes, and it’s unclear as to what Biden does and who he meets while there, Breitbart reported Wednesday.

"I can confirm we are not going to be providing information about the comings and goings of the president’s grandchildren or people visiting him in Delaware," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in August.

The White House has defended Biden's trips to Delaware. "The President lives in Wilmington. It's his home," Psaki stated in March. "That’s where he's lived for many, many years."

The News Journal reported that the Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction in the Rehoboth area through 9 p.m. Thursday, December 30, indicating that Biden could remain there until that deadline.

The President last visited his Rehoboth Beach-area home for a quiet weekend in November. During a September stay, Joe and Jill Biden bicycled on the Gordons Pond trail and attended Mass at St. Edmund Roman Catholic Church in Rehoboth.

The New York Post reported Monday that Biden returned to Delaware as the COVID-19 Omicron variant situation trampled his plans for a post-Christmas vacation in Puerto Rico.

Instead, Biden will stay at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach with first lady Jill Biden and new first puppy Commander, who was a birthday gift from the President’s brother, James Biden, and sister-in-law Sara Biden.

The Bidens spent Christmas at the White House. The President celebrated his 79th birthday on November 20.

While Biden's Delaware homes are relatively close to Washington, D.C., Secret Service security protocols and Marine One presidential helicopter are used for every trip. Also, the press pool of reporters are shuttled back and forth from D.C.

Amid the disastrous troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden took nine Marine One flights during an 18-day span in August as he split time between the White House, Camp David, and Delaware.

A new Gallup poll found that Biden’s job approval rating was 43%, while 51% disapprove of the job he is doing.
