Biden Spent 37% of 2023 at Vacation Spots Amid Criticism

Despite the White House's insistence that the President works regardless of location, critics, including former President Trump, have questioned Biden's commitment to duty.

  • President Joe Biden spent 138 days, or 37% of 2023, at vacation spots or retreats, including his homes in Delaware, Camp David, and locations like St. Croix, Nantucket, and Lake Tahoe.
  • Despite criticism, the White House maintains that Biden continues to work during these periods, with Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton stating that the President works every day of the week, regardless of location.
  • Republicans have criticized Biden's time away, particularly during the ongoing U.S.-Mexico border crisis, labeling it a 'dereliction of duty'.
  • Former President Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart, criticized Biden's vacation time, stating that he himself always worked during his vacations.
  • Comparatively, Trump spent 132 days away from the White House during his presidency, Obama spent 38 days, and Bush spent 100 days.
