The Biden had a bit of a scare during their weekend home to stay at their luxury Delaware beach home, where the president seems to spend a majority of his time while the country burns down.
According to The Daily Wire, military jets were scrambled and President Joe Biden, and first lady Jill Biden, were whisked away by U.S. Secret Service agents after a small aircraft was reportedly in violation of the airspace above the Biden’s beach house residence.
REHOBOTH, Delaware- At 12:52p, I saw @POTUS motorcade race into the Rehoboth Fire Station. I saw President Biden through the window of a SUV. Right before the motorcade, I saw 2 military jets flying low over the beach town. The press pool is not with the motorcade.

“A small private plane entered restricted airspace, all indications are by mistake, and precautionary measures were taken,” a White House official told reporters. “There was no threat to the President or his family.”
The pilot of the small craft was reportedly not on the correct radio station to heed warnings from government officials that he or she was in violation of the airspace.
As is routine, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published flight restrictions ahead of the president’s trip home, which include a 10-mile radius of a no-fly zone, which is withing a 30-mile “restricted” area above the residence.
The Secret Service was expected to meet with the pilot, but no charges are expected.
