Biden's Record Vacation Days Fuel Criticism

Former President Joe Biden reportedly spent 577 days, or 39% of his presidency, on vacation, more than any modern U.S. president, according to data compiled by the Republican National Committee (RNC). This surpasses the previous record held by George H.W. Bush, who spent 37% of his time away from the White House. The RNC's data has been criticized for counting partial days and working locations as full vacation days. Comparisons with average American workers highlight Biden's extensive time off, with critics questioning his leadership during critical times. Despite skepticism over the figures, the data has fueled Republican critiques of Biden's presidency. Notably, Biden's vacation time increased following his decision not to run for re-election, influenced by pressures from within his party.
