Read our privacy policy President Joe Biden left Washington on Wednesday to begin what is expected to be at least a seven-day vacation in South Carolina with members of his family. Biden, accompanied by first lady Jill Biden, departed the White House by motorcade to Joint Base Andrews outside the capital, where Air Force One was on hand to take them to Charleston. The White House did not respond to requests to provide details on Biden's vacation schedule, activities or when he planned to return to Washington. Biden's 2021 vacation plans were scrambled by Washington's legislative calendar, a COVID-19 case surge, and the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
