Biden's Five-Hour Work Week

Rapid Response

Joe Biden is back into hiding.

After a weeklong vacation in South Carolina — where he stayed in a beachfront mansion, free of charge — Biden returned to the White House yesterday to sign a middle-class tax hike into law.

Five hours later, Biden was off on yet another vacation.

Such is the story of the Biden presidency:

  • 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 gone 31 of the past 47 days without taking a single question from the press.
     
  • Biden has done just three interviews with traditional press in 2022.
    • He has not done an on-camera interview with an American press outlet since February 10.
       
  • Biden has held just 17 press conferences.

We already knew Biden is the least transparent president in modern history, but this level of absenteeism begs the question: what — and why — is Biden hiding?
