Biden Already Semi-Retired, Analysis of His Schedule Finds

As concerns about President Joe Biden’s ability to serve a second term rise within his party, reports suggest that his daily schedule consists of limited work hours and lots of personal time.

According to White House officials, the “vast majority” of events Biden participates in are between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and scheduling events with him in the morning, night, or on the weekend is difficult.

• Biden has held just four public events before 10 a.m. and a dozen after 6 p.m. so far this year.
• He has also logged 12 full weekends without a single public event.

Despite these reports, White House deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon responded with a one-word reply to Axios’s report: “False.”

However, concerns about the president’s age were further fueled when he was caught using a cheat sheet with advance reporter questions at a press conference with South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol. While Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it is “entirely normal” to “anticipate questions” for a press conference, some are questioning Biden’s ability to do his job competently.

• The Washington Post recently interviewed Democratic voters who said the president’s frequent verbal slip-ups and physical stumbles are giving them pause about whether he should run for a second term.
• Biden faces the lowest support from within his own party for a second term among modern presidents. Just 38 percent of Democrats said the party should nominate Biden for reelection, compared with 57 percent who want to find another plausible candidate, according to an average of polls conducted throughout his first term published by the Post on Monday.
