Pool Reports of November 26, 2022

Out of Town Pool Report #1 - Rolling

Good afternoon from a windy Nantucket. President Biden's motorcade began rolling from the house where he is staying at 12:31 p.m. Pool did not see the president.

Out of Town Pool Report #2 - Shopping

The motorcade stopped in downtown Nantucket at 12:41 p.m.

People are lining the sidewalk of Main Street with their phones recording. President has entered Murray's Toggery, a clothing shop. He's out shopping on Small Business Saturday.

Out of Town Pool Report #3 - 2024

POTUS exited David Chase, a clothing store, at 1:09 p.m. A pool member asked POTUS about his 2024 conversations, to which he responded: "We're not having any, we're celebrating!"

Color to come.

Out of Town Pool Report #4 - Shopping + color + leadership

When POTUS and FLOTUS exited David Chase at 1:09 p.m., the crowd of people waiting in the windy 46-degree afternoon erupted. POTUS raised a hand to acknowledge the people. One person shouted "love you" as the Bidens crossed the street, and POTUS responded "Thank you!"

POTUS and FLOTUS continued shopping. Hunter Biden, his wife Melissa Cohen, Ashley Biden and Baby Beau are with them.

POTUS has been shopping a little more than an hour and stopped in at least nine stores.

POTUS exited a store at 1:58 p.m. The pool asked if he'd spoken with new congressional leadership, and he responded, in part: "You ask the most unusual questions — when I get to Washington."

He's still shopping.

Out of Town Pool Report #5 - Trump and Fuentes + Rolling

POTUS exited a shop at 2:08 p.m. The pool asked POTUS for his reaction to former President Donald Trump dining with White Nationalist Nick Fuentes. POTUS responded: "You don't want to know what I think."

The president's motorcade is rolling as of 2:13 p.m.

Out of Town Pool Report #6 - Lid

POTUS' vehicle returned to the home where he's staying at 2:20 p.m. A lunch lid has been called until 4:30 p.m.

Out of Town Pool Report #7 - Rolling

The president's motorcade is rolling as of 4:53 p.m. The pool did not see POTUS enter a vehicle.

Out of Town Pool Report #8 - Mass

The president's motorcade arrived at 5 p.m. POTUS is attending mass at St. Mary, Our Lady of the Isle in downtown Nantucket.

The 125-year-old church holds 350 people, according to the St. Mary's website (https://stmarysnantucket.org/our-parish/history). The late Beau Biden married Hallie at St. Mary in 2002, POTUS wrote in a November 2020 essay for N Magazine about the family's connection to Nantucket (https://n-magazine-archive.com/bidens-ode-to-nantucket/). POTUS attended Saturday mass at St. Mary last year (https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/pool-reports-november-27-2021).

Out of Town Pool Report #9 - Rolling

A livestream from inside the church showed POTUS receiving communion.

POTUS exited the church at 5:55 p.m. and made no remarks. The president's motorcade is rolling as of 5:59 p.m.

Out of Town Pool Report #10 - Lid

After the pool left, this tweet (https://twitter.com/lukerussert/status/1596642161952542722?s=46&t=ObMtsW...) indicated the president donated to the church — but pool did not witness that.

Lid was called at 6:05 p.m. Pool did not see the president exit his vehicle at the home where he's staying.

A huge thanks to Emily Goodin, Aurelia End and Josh Wingrove and for their help today.

Have a good night,
Man From Nantucket
