Biden evacuated from holiday home: pilot mistake | Abroad

It turned out to be a pilot error. There was no threat to the president, a White House spokesman said. The couple was evacuated as a precaution. According to Reuters, the evacuation caused some upheaval in the village of Rehoboth Beach, where the president and his wife were staying. After a short while, Biden and the first lady were able to return to their vacation home.

It is customary when the President travels outside of Washington that no flights are allowed within 10 miles of the residence.

A Secret Service spokesman said in a statement that the pilot of the plane was not on the correct radio channel. “The United States Secret Service will interrogate the pilot.”
