U.S. President Joe Biden and his family, including daughter Ashley Biden,

son Hunter Biden, and grandson Beau Biden, have gone to Camp David for the Christmas holiday.

The Biden’s visited the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. earlier, continuing a tradition First Lady Bess Truman started over 70 years ago.

First lady Jill Biden spent part of the day at Fort Campbell in Kentucky on Saturday, December 23rd, participating in a holiday celebration with local military families and volunteers. She later joined the rest of the family at Camp David.

The Bidens plan to return to Washington on Tuesday and head to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands for the New Year’s holiday.

In a brief interaction before boarding Marine One from the South Lawn of the White House late Saturday afternoon, the President mentioned having a private conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, declined to disclose details about it, expressed optimism about the economy, and conveyed a positive outlook for Africa. He wished everyone a Merry Christmas and clarified that he did not ask for a ceasefire in the private conversation.
