Biden landed at Fort McNair at about 9:05 PM ET and took a motorcade back to the White House, arriving 15 minutes later.
The president was originally scheduled to return on Wednesday.
But amid a growing chorus of criticism for his relative silence about Afghanistan and his absence from his main place of work while the country fell apart, the president decided to head back early. The White House had earlier Tuesday called a "lid," meaning no further movements or events were expected, so it appears the decision to return was made hastily during the afternoon.
Biden briefly returned to the White House on Monday to deliver a short speech on the situation in Afghanistan, remarks in which he doled out blame to others and for which he has been widely criticized. Biden returned to Camp David after giving the speech and did not take questions from the media.
The State Department on Tuesday told American citizens and others looking to get out of Afghanistan that they should "shelter in place" until they are given further instruction by the U.S. Embassy amid a fragile security situation in the Afghan capital.
"Our message remains for American citizens and for others who have expressed interest in relocation out of Afghanistan: shelter in place until and unless you receive a communication from the U.S. embassy," spokesman Ned Price told reporters.

Came back early? It’s the night before.
“decision to return was made hastily”
Like the decision to abandon afghanistan to the terror groups.
Why fly to McNair and not straight to the WH lawn?
I wondered that too?
What’s with these “lid” days?
I had never heard that term, until last year during the campaign, when the media announced it was a “lid” day.
Has any other president or anyone in public office, ever declared a “lid” day?
Is that even an official term in general use, or is it something someone made up to apply to Joe Biden and his relatively short work days?
“had earlier Tuesday called a “lid,” meaning no further movements “
I guess they didn’t have the right equipment to
revive him after over dosing him with drugs for his
“press” briefing.
How many lid days were called for previous presidents? Any way to find out?
“Why fly to McNair and not straight to the WH lawn?”
How far is the walk to the door? Maybe they’re afraid he can’t walk that far?
If you couldn’t afford an oz, you could get a lid, a match
box of weed for ten bucks.
On Hannity tonight Oliver North said the only reason Biden was returning is because his approval numbers have tanked.

I am wondering that also. Do they not land Marine One there after a certain hour?
None that I’ve ever heard of?
ALL the DemonRats care about is OPTICS, but THEY CAN’T EVEN GET THAT RIGHT.. AND EVEN WITH THEIR PROPAGANDA ARM the STATE-RUN MEDIA running COVER for them!
Vacation? This walking cadaver is on a permanent vacation he does not know he is on. What a joke. The world is laughing and we are so screwed....
The Left ganged up on Cuomo, mysteriously, and pushed him out of office. Now the Leftist media is ganging up on Biden (as opposed to most Republicans who I don’t think are saying much with any real intensity). Wonder what the outcome will be.
If Pelosi can get rid of Willie Brown’s girlfriend before a VP is confirmed, she will be President.
Is he trying to get credit for “cutting his vacation short” as it ends tonight anyway. Lame.
