US President Joe Biden is currently in the US Virgin Islands — to enjoy some downtime and warmer weather and to ring in a new year with family.
According to Caribbean Loop News, the president and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, flew from Washington on Tuesday of this week to St Croix, one of three islands that make up the US territory in the Caribbean. St John and St Thomas are the other two islands.
The Bidens were joined by their daughter Ashley and her husband, Howard Krein, as well as grandchildren Natalie and Hunter, whose father was the president’s late son, Beau.
St Croix is a tropical getaway that Biden has been getting away to at least since he was vice president, from 2009 to 2017.
Biden spent the holidays at his home in Delaware in 2020 and 2021, mostly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This week’s visit to St Croix will be his first as president to the US Virgin Islands.
