President Biden’s heart is with Americans suffering from deadly winter storms, but the rest of him is headed for a vacation in the balmy U.S. Virgin Islands.
The president and his family were scheduled to depart Washington Tuesday night on Air Force One to spend the holiday week in St. Croix. They will return from their taxpayer-funded vacation on Jan. 2.
Their Caribbean getaway comes as at least 50 people have been killed by storms that swept across the U.S. in the past week, including more than two dozen deaths in upstate New York. Buffalo reported 27 dead as of Tuesday morning.
