Biden Travels to St. Croix for Final Presidential Holiday

The president and his family visit a donor's luxury villa as questions about ethics and gift disclosures persist.

  • President Joe Biden arrived in St. Croix with his family for what is likely his final vacation as president before leaving office on January 20, 2025.
  • The Bidens are reportedly staying at the beachfront villa of wealthy donors Bill and Connie Neville, continuing a pattern of accepting unpaid stays at supporters' homes during his presidency.
  • Critics have raised concerns over potential ethics violations, as Biden has not disclosed these stays on federal ethics forms, citing unclear legal requirements.
  • This vacation follows Biden's recent signing of 50 bills on Christmas Eve and a stopgap measure to prevent a government shutdown, as well as his veto of a judicial expansion bill earlier this week.
  • Biden is also scheduled to travel to Italy in January for meetings with Pope Francis and Italian leaders before his term ends.
