As the Middle East teeters on the brink of war between Iran and Israel that could involve the U.S., Biden told reporters, “I’m always concerned about Americans,” as he boarded Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews for a weekend at the beach in Delaware.

The White House said that traveling with Biden is Marc Gustafson, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for the White House Situation Room, indicating a concern the Middle East could blow up while Biden is on his beach weekend.
Biden arrived at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Friday night where he will stay until Sunday night. Monday he has two state level meetings at the White House. Tuesday he travels to Scranton for campaign events. On Wednesday, after overnighting in Scranton, Biden heads to the Pittsburgh area. After returning to the White House Wednesday night, Biden heads right back to Pennsylvania for two more campaign events in Philadelphia on Thursday, after which he returns to the White House. On Friday, Biden takes off for his family home in Wilmington, Delaware where “he will remain throughout the weekend.”

Starting Monday, Trump will be in New York City for the start of the Biden administration orchestrated Democratic Party show trial put on by Democrat Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg over alleged campaign related payments to stripper Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
