President Joe Biden has been accused of spending an excessive amount of his presidency on vacation, amidst a backdrop of escalating national issues such as rampant inflation and border security concerns.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) Research recently highlighted this issue, sharing a video of the President leisurely enjoying a beach day.
According to Breitbart, the RNC Research's social media post on August 31st depicted Biden in a relaxed state on the beach, seemingly engrossed in a phone call. The accompanying caption read, "Biden spent today his 16th straight day on vacation lounging on the beach. He has spent a total of 532 days (40.3% of his presidency) on vacation. Whos running the country?" This post sparked a flurry of reactions from social media users, with one remarking, Same people running it when he isnt on vacation.
Another user expressed frustration, commenting, This guy is TOO MUCH. Hes not running the show. Hes spending his time WASTING AWAY while America is suffering. These sentiments reflect a growing concern about the President's perceived lack of engagement with pressing national issues.
The Economic Times recently reported that Biden spent 16 consecutive days at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, a duration that significantly exceeds the vacation time of his predecessors. The report stated, Former President Donald Trump spent about 26% of his presidency on personal trips, while Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama took vacations during approximately 11% of their two-term presidencies. Jimmy Carter, in his single term, took only 79 days off.
In addition to his Delaware retreats, Biden has also vacationed in Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, and Kiawah Island, North Carolina. Breitbart News reported in August 2022 that Biden's return to his Delaware home marked his 49th trip to the state during his presidency. This record-breaking number of home visits, as noted by former CBS correspondent Mark Knoller, does not include his other vacation trips.
Adding to the controversy, a CBS News/YouGov poll recently revealed that 72 percent of registered voters question Biden's mental and cognitive health to serve as president. As reported by Breitbart News in July, the poll underscores serious doubts among the electorate about Biden's ability to finish his term. This growing skepticism, coupled with the President's frequent vacations, raises questions about his commitment to addressing the nation's pressing issues.
