After a brief and uneventful ride the motorcade arrived in the main Nantucket town at 4:43 pm. POTUS went into Murray's Toggery Shop.

POTUS report 6 - Shopping and church

Biden came out of Murray's at 4:54. And walked across the street.

Biden did not buy anything at Murray's, per the WH. But when he was inside there was a White House camera and still in the shop.

(Hunter and baby Beau also shopped with potus at Murray's. Natalie was also seen outside the shop.)

Biden entered TownPool, a shop that was selling Biden tee shirts with the "d" replaced with an image of Nantucket.

Biden is drinking a chocolate milk shake despite the cold weather.

At 4:59 he left the TownShop, he's still sipping the milk shake.

Biden ignored several questions about omicron.

At 5:01 pm Biden entered St Mary's Our Lady of the Isle Catholic Church where a 5 pm mass is scheduled.

He was greeted at the church by a clergy member when he got to top of stairs. A boy could be heard saying "Mr. President, he's here."

Pool is holding outside the church.

POTUS report 7 - biden leaves church

At 5:51 pm Biden left St Mary's Chruch. He waved to the assembled media but did not say anything.

He walked to the beast. Pool joined the motorcade at 5:54 pm.

POTUS pool report 8 - drop off and lid (and cx)

Biden was dropped off at the Rubenstein property at 6:02 pm

The White House also called a lid at 6:02 pm

In Pool report 6, pool inaccurately referred a store Biden entered as TownShop on second reference. It should be TownPool. Apologies for any confusion.
