Just two days after putting up a weak performance in his first 2024 debate against Donald Trump, President Joe Biden exited Marine One in the Hamptons on Saturday afternoon, gripping his wife Jill Biden’s arm and wearing a frozen grimace.
At the Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach, Biden, 81, and the first lady presented a unified appearance, even down to their matching blue suits.
Despite calls across the country for the commander-in-chief to resign following his troubling debate performance, the couple was on Long Island for a star-studded fundraiser at the home of hedge-fund billionaire Barry Rosenstein and his wife Lizanne. This was the first of two major donor events that Biden had in the metro area on Saturday.
Prominent individuals, such as the celebrity duos of Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan and Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, were rumored to have spent as much as $250,000 to socialize with the president.
