Biden's Public Absence Fuels Speculation on Presidential Role
President Joe Biden has significantly reduced his public appearances, raising questions about his leadership as Vice President Kamala Harris steps into a more prominent role.
- President Joe Biden has held no public events on 43 out of 75 days since announcing he would not seek reelection.
- Biden's public schedule has been limited to late morning and afternoon events, with no appearances before 10 a.m. and only a few after 5 p.m.
- Vice President Kamala Harris has taken on increased responsibilities, including foreign and domestic policy, as Biden delegates more tasks to her.
- Public interest in Biden has waned, with Google searches and media coverage at their lowest levels since he took office.
- Biden's limited visibility has coincided with his acknowledgment of unpopularity and willingness to follow Harris's campaign strategy.
