(UPDATE: 8/20/2021 Biden pushed his vacation departure back from Friday to Saturday.)
As Afghanistan remains in chaos, Joe Biden is set to leave the White House again for vacation.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday restricted airspace over Wilmington, Delaware, for the weekend — revealing President Biden planned to head home despite the chaotic situation in Afghanistan.
Biden spent most of last week in Wilmington and the Camp David retreat. He flew back to Washington DC to deliver brief remarks Monday and then flew right back to Camp David.
The president returned to the White House late Tuesday night. He sat for an interview with ABC Wednesday and delivered remarks on COVID-19 without taking press questions. The president did not have any public appearances Thursday.
And Friday afternoon, after less than 72 hours at the White House this week, Biden will return to his personal residence after delivering remarks on the Afghanistan crisis.
Perhaps he just needs a nap.
UPDATE: The White House announced a change in Biden's schedule Friday afternoon. Biden is now expected to head to Wilmington on Saturday and stay through the weekend.
Nap delayed.
