Biden postpones trip to Colorado to discuss domestic agenda as the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are meeting with national security officials as the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies, according to the White House. Biden on Monday postponed a trip to Colorado to stay in Washington and focus on the growing conflict in the Middle East. The Democratic president is setting aside an opportunity to pitch his economic accomplishments as he runs for reelection. Biden had been heading Monday to the Colorado district of Rep. Lauren Boebert, where he was to visit the world’s largest facility for wind tower manufacturing. Biden is weighing a decision to visit the region in a sign of support for Israel following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 people.
