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.
