The plan for today was for Joe Biden to deliver some remarks on the situation in Afghanistan and then retreat to his safe space in Wilmington, Delaware.

It seems that those plans have since changed:
White House: The President will not travel to Wilmington, DE today. He will remain in Washington, DC tonight.

White House official: President Biden will not be traveling to Wilmington as he had been scheduled to do so. He will instead remain at the White House this weekend

Good. Question remains why they thought they could get away with it, or what led them to consider even trying. https://t.co/2ho912DtVW

Update:
Just to be clear:
White House clarifies that Biden not going to Wilmington *today* as scheduled which leaves the possibility open that he could still leave tomorrow https://t.co/WwtaqxySzl
