Biden's Free Vacation at Wealthy Supporters' Home Draws Criticism

The President's stay, valued at over $6,000, comes as the administration skips the traditional end of the year press conference.

President Biden is vacationing for free at the St. Croix home of wealthy supporters Bill and Connie Neville, a practice that has drawn criticism for not being disclosed on annual ethics forms.
The value of the free stay is estimated to be more than $6,000, based on the property's rental rate on VRBO.
This vacation comes as the administration skips the traditional end of the year press conference, raising questions about transparency.
Biden's frequent free stays at luxury homes have been compared to similar practices by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sparking debate about ethics and disclosure.
The vacation in St. Croix is seen as a final bout of relaxation for Biden before the heat of the 2024 presidential campaign begins.
