Biden Faces Pro-Palestinian Protests During Nantucket Vacation

Despite the protests, the president continues with traditional family activities and attends briefings on the Gaza hostage situation.

  • President Biden faced pro-Palestinian protests during his Thanksgiving vacation in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
  • Protesters found Biden twice on Friday, once as he departed lunch with his family and again at a tree-lighting ceremony.
  • Biden's support for Israel has led to divisions within his party and a slump in his polling numbers, particularly among younger voters and members of his party who support the Palestinian people.
  • Biden spent part of his vacation attending briefings with national security aides, following the release of the first phase of hostages by Hamas as part of a four-day ceasefire.
  • Biden also participated in traditional family activities, including lunch at the Brotherhood of Thieves bar and grill, shopping at local stores, and attending the town's Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
