President Joe Biden plans to vote early on Saturday, according to the White House.

White House officials added that Biden will be joined by his granddaughter, Naomi, for the trip. Officials did not answer questions about where and when first lady Jill Biden would vote. She is spending Saturday campaigning for Democratic candidates in New Hampshire and New York.

BIDEN TAKES UNSCHEDULED TRIP TO VOTE IN DELAWARE PRIMARY

Biden and the first lady previously made an unscheduled trip to Delaware in mid-September to vote in the state's Democratic primaries just before the polls closed.

At the time, there was only one contested statewide primary on Delaware's ballot Tuesday evening. State Auditor Kathleen McGuiness fended off a challenge from lawyer Lydia York in the state's Democratic primary despite the latter having the backing of the state party. McGuiness is now facing Republican Janice Lorrah in the general election.

Biden has logged nearly one-quarter of his first 20 months in office in Delaware. He has traveled to his homes in Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington, Delaware, 55 times for a grand total of 174 days.

"President Biden is deeply proud of his roots and his family, and it has been a staple of his time in public life to never lose touch with either,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a past statement of Biden's travel to Delaware.
