Joe and Jill Biden have escaped Washington D.C. and landed on the Caribbean island of St. Croix for a vacation and a free stay at the home of billionaire Democratic donors.

The president and first lady stepped off Air Force One on Wednesday afternoon with his 19-year-old granddaughter Natalie, the daughter of his late son Beau, for the break on the sunny beaches of the U.S. Virgin Island. 

The family will ring in the New Year as Biden faces continued questions about his 2024 prospects, dire polls and an increase in attacks on U.S. troops in the Middle East.
