Absentee President: Biden In Hiding

Rapid Response

After weeks on vacation, Joe Biden made a return to the White House today — where he’ll stay just one full day before retreating to Delaware on yet another weekend respite.

Spending, on average, 40% of each month on vacation, Biden is an absentee president:

  • Biden has gone 38 of the past 54 days without taking a single question from the press.
    • Biden has not done an on-camera interview with an American press outlet since February 10.
    • Biden has taken just three questions from the press in the past 15 days.
  • Biden has taken more vacations, weekends away, and trips to Camp David than President Trump or Barack Obama did in their first 18 months in office.
  • Biden has held just 17 press conferences — fewer than his past five predecessors at this point in his presidency.

Biden couldn’t even be bothered from his vacation to mark the one-year anniversary of his botched Afghanistan withdrawal – but, to Biden’s credit, he did interrupt his vacation to sign a middle-class tax hike into law.

So why is Biden hiding?
