Joe Biden to spend New Year's holiday with family in U.S. Virgin Islands

EN ROUTE TO ST. CROIX – President Joe Biden will be ringing in the new year in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Biden and first lady Jill Biden departed Tuesday for St. Croix, where they will spend several days with family. The Bidens have vacationed in the Caribbean territory several times – they welcomed the new year there in 2015 and 2016 – but this is Biden’s first visit as president.

Biden becomes the first sitting president to visit the Virgin Islands since Harry Truman delivered a speech in Christiansted on St. Croix in 1948.

Barack Obama and Bill Clinton also visited the Virgin Islands, but not while they were president.

with mocking about the trip. Of course without mentioning the strain (and accomplishments) or comparing Drumpf's non-stop perching on golf carts, and TV, and tweet machine.
