Title: President Biden Takes Frigid Thanksgiving Swim in Nantucket
President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, braved the chilly waters off Nantucket as part of the first family’s longstanding Thanksgiving tradition. This icy plunge has been a yearly tradition since 1975, and even during his time as vice president, Joe Biden would enthusiastically participate in the charitable event known as the Cold Turkey Plunge.
For this year’s swim, the Biden family chose to use the waters off billionaire David Rubenstein’s luxurious beachfront estate. It isn’t the first time the Bidens have celebrated the holiday at Rubenstein’s lavish mansion, as they have also spent Thanksgiving there in both 2021 and 2022. It remains unclear whether the president, in fact, pays rent for the property.
Before diving into their cold adventure, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden took a moment to deliver pumpkin pies to the Nantucket Fire Department and personally express their gratitude to the first responders on duty. The president also briefly addressed the press on a couple of pressing global matters.
In response to questions about the ongoing hostage situation in Gaza, President Biden expressed hope for a breakthrough between Hamas and Israel that could potentially lead to the release of hostages, including a 3-year-old Israeli-American girl who is caught in the crossfire.
Furthermore, when reporters inquired about American citizens detained in Russia, the president reaffirmed that the US government would not give up on them. Among those detained are Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelan, both of whom face espionage charges.
As the first family continues to cherish their time in Nantucket, their Thanksgiving swim sends a message of solidarity and support for charitable causes. Whether it’s bracing the frigid waters or engaging with first responders or the press, the Bidens remain dedicated to their mission of fostering positive change.
