President Biden is once again scheduled to head home to Delaware Saturday, as thousands of Americans and Afghan allies remain stranded in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s takeover last weekend.
The White House announced that Biden would leave for Wilmington around midday following a meeting with his national security team to get updated on the situation. Vice President Kamala Harris, who was traveling to Southeast Asia, is expected to attend virtually.
As of late Friday evening, Biden had no public events scheduled for Saturday or Sunday.
The president was originally scheduled to take a long weekend with an early-afternoon departure from the White House on Friday. But the White House said he changed his mind.

Biden’s trip on Saturday would be his 19th to his home state since taking office on Jan. 20.

Biden added Friday that 13,000 people had been flown out of Afghanistan on US military aircraft since Saturday, and thousands more had been evacuated on private charter flights.
However, though the president estimated earlier this week that up to 15,000 Americans remain in Afghanistan, along with up to 65,000 Afghans and families of Afghans who worked with US forces during the war, administration officials have acknowledged that they do not have an exact count of how many are left to get out.

We may next hear an announcement that someone in the W.H. has tested positive for Covid-19 and Joey Xi will be extending his stay in the basement of his Delaware home for an extended undetermined period. The bizarre need to hide seems to override the optics in the eyes of America. The question is why?
