President JoeBiden is on vacation again, raising familiar questions about how much time he spends away from the White House.
The first family is in the middle of a 10-day retreat at Biden's two Delaware homes, biking and reading at the beach while avoiding public appearances. That has Republicans calling him out as the vacationer in chief."Joe Biden and Jill, Ed.D., are having a relaxing day at the beach, where Biden will remain for another week," RNC Research posted on X, formerly known as Twitter."Since taking office, Biden has spent 360 days — 39% of his presidency — on vacation.
“Since Biden took office, prices are higher, real wages are lower, gas prices are surging, wealth is down, debt is up," RNC spokesman Jake Schneider said."Biden can spend all the time in the world at the beach, but there's a reason why he has among the worst approval ratings in modern presidential history. In addition to being corrupt and out-of-touch, he simply does not care."
White House spokesman Andrew Bates said any vacation-based attacks are proof that Biden's approach is working. "These critics may be among the strange, tiny group that thinks the swamp knows better than where they come from, but they are the exception that proves the rule," he said. Trump referred to his trips as"working vacations" and criticized Obama as a"habitual vacationer" who spent too much time on the golf course. He was then called out for his own jaunts to New Jersey and Florida after taking office.
A more concrete issue is that the Biden administration made much of issuing visitor logs for in-person meetings held on the White House grounds. But that rule doesn't extend to Delaware, potentially providing an easy workaround for meetings the administration would not want the public to know about.
