According to a New York Post report, President Biden has canceled nine scheduled events and has extended his stay in Delaware now that he has dropped out of the 2024 presidential election.
Biden, who is isolating with COVID-19, hasn’t directly addressed Americans since his bombshell statement was shared on X on Sunday.
A source who spoke with The Post said Team Biden didn’t give a reason for the cancellations.
“They started canceling stuff when he announced he wasn’t seeking reelection,” the source said, adding that the trips were a mix of campaign and official presidential stops.
“He was supposed to leave today to start the West Coast trip, but they extended his stay in Rehoboth until the 24th,” the source added.
From The New York Post:
Houston Mayor John Whitmire was anticipating a Biden visit on Thursday to discuss the Hurricane Beryl recovery efforts, but said the trip was cancelled last-minute.
“I don’t know if the press knows it, but President Biden was going to be here Thursday to recognize our preparation,” Whitmire said Sunday after the president dropped out of the race.
Biden was also tentatively expected to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, but he has no plans to return to DC.
