NANTUCKET, Mass.—Joe Biden is wrapping up his final Thanksgiving holiday as president on Nantucket, a family tradition that this year seems to be part of a broader farewell to his time in the White House.

The Democrat’s four years as president will be bookended by Republican Donald Trump, whose Cabinet nominations, tariff threats, and glitzy evenings at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida club, have captured the public’s attention since the November election. Biden dropped out of the presidential contest in July and was replaced on the ticket by Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost to Trump.
