There is not yet any official word on POTUS destination but for general informational purposes, press pool notes the following:

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at Friday’s briefing that POTUS was traveling to Delaware for “the memorial service of a family member.”
It seems likely that the decedent may be Joan Olivere (née Berger), the mother of Beau Biden’s widow, Hallie.
