President Biden is spending his weekend away from the White House at his Delaware beach house, a well-known retreat for the president, ahead of high-stakes interviews and the Republican Party's convention next week.
Following a Friday evening campaign event in Michigan, the president's weekend at Rehoboth Beach has been largely quiet after he acknowledged on Thursday that he needs to "pace" himself yet insisted he should take on a more robust schedule ahead of the 2024 election.
Biden is expected to take part in two conference calls on Saturday with House Democrats – the New Dems Coalition and the Congressional Progressive Caucus – but has no public events on his Saturday Rehoboth schedule. Thirteen Democrats in the New Dems Coalition have called for Biden to step aside in the 2024 race.
It has been reported that the president may also attend a church service during his weekend trip.
With sporadic rain expected for the remainder of the day in Rehoboth Beach, Biden remained hunkered down amid growing calls from members of his own party to withdraw from the race for the White House.
Sources near the president's vacation home in Sussex County, Delaware, told Fox News Digital there has been little movement by the Secret Service since the president's arrival in town Friday evening.
When the president returns to work next week, he will be forced to shift gears for a series of additional high-stakes interviews amid the Republican National Convention, which is taking place in Milwaukee from July 15 to 18.
Biden is slated to take part in a taped, one-on-one interview with "NBC Nightly News" anchor Lester Holt on Monday from Austin, Texas. That interview, which will mark the president's second cable news appearance since his rocky debate last month, will air in its entirety at 9 p.m. ET the same day.
The president will also take part in two additional interviews next week, according to Dylan Byers, a senior correspondent for Puck News.
Byers reported Thursday that Biden would take part in a Tuesday interview with a "Black national media outlet" during the NAACP Conference, and another on Wednesday with a "Latino national media outlet."
Those interviews will come as Biden continues his attempt to convince members of his own party, as well as voters from different corners of America who have concerns about his age and mental acuity, that he is up to the task of four more years in the White House.
