President JoeBiden vacationing at Democratic donor's $20 million Kiawah Island estate
The 10,500-square-foot, nine-bedroom oceanfront retreat is owned by Maria Allwin, the Connecticut-based widow of real estate and hedge fund manager James Allwin, and she has hosted Biden in years past, including while he was vice president.
The White House has disclosed few details of Biden’s vacation and did not respond to questions from the Washington Examiner this week about with whom Biden would be staying and for how long. Ethics disclosures dictate that the president must pay fair-market value for the stay or disclose it publicly. Biden vacationed at the same Kiawah home in 2009 while he was vice president in the Obama administration.
In the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, Allwin poured $35,000 into the Biden Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee supporting Biden. She also gave to a fundraising group headed by Silicon Valley investors to back Democratic Senate candidates, known as the Top 4 2020 Committee.
