Biden: The Vacationer in Chief

First, it was hard to believe any president could spend as much time away from the White House or vacation as Barack Obama.

Trump, the former president, visited Trump’s resorts in New Jersey & Florida during his Christmas and summer breaks.

Now, according to the Republican National Committee’s count, President Joe Biden is on a path to beat both.

Biden has spent 39%, or 39%, of his time away from his White House residence, mostly in Delaware. Trump spent 26% of his time at Camp David or his resort homes.

The RNC’s Jacob Schneider produced a colorful chart of vacations that he shared with reporters, and added:

“Since taking office, Biden has spent 282 days — 40% of his presidency — on vacation, including 191 days in Delaware and 66 days at Camp David.

“In fact, Biden’s incessant vacationing outpaces virtually every other president in modern history. And it’s not just vacations; Biden has also done far fewer press conferences and interviews than any of his immediate predecessors.”

Technically, presidents work during breaks. This is true for all presidents, as well as their staffs. Biden’s team has been no different.

CNN reported that Biden had spent 25% of his presidency on vacation last year. The White House responded to the cable. “Presidents of the United States are constantly on the job, regardless of their location — whether they’re on a state visit overseas or just 100 miles from the White House for a short trip to Wilmington, DE. And as all Americans can agree, it’s important for leaders to avoid becoming ensconced in Washington, D.C.”
