WH pool report 2 -- POTUS return time moved up

The in-town is at the WH waiting for what was to be an 1130 arrival on the South Lawn, but which at this point is running somewhat behind.

The weekend guidance sent Friday had arrival time set for 1400.

If you want to be there for the open press arrival, now is the time to race in.

WH pool report 4 — Marine 1 arrival

The president's helicopter touched down on the South Lawn at 1153 on a warm and humid late morning, returning from Camp David.

President Biden stepped off Marine 1 at 1156, followed by Hunter Biden and Valerie Biden, waved at the pool and appeared to give a two or three word answer to a question about the attack in the Golan Heights, which was completely inaudible.

He entered the South Portico at 1157.

WH pool report 5 -- lid

The White House press office announced a lid for the remainder of the day at 1205.

Enjoy it.
