Former Democrat President Joe Biden reportedly spent 577 of his 1,463 days in office on vacation, which is more vacation days than any other president in modern U.S. history. Almost one-third of the time of his presidency.
The new dataset was compiled by the Republican National Committee (RNC), which found that Biden spent nearly 40% of his presidency on holiday, compared to President Donald Trump’s first term — which saw him take 381 days off — 26%. The average American would have to work nearly 13 years to take off the same amount of time Biden was allotted during his term.
Former President Biden’s vacation time beat out George H.W. Bush, who previously held the record after spending 37% of his time as president on vacation. Biden’s vacation time also significantly increased after dropping out of the race on July 21st, spending 43 of the next 70 days on vacation. Meanwhile, the data aligns with Biden’s critics, who have continuously argued that his age and declining cognitive abilities made him unfit for a second presidential term. Biden spent a significant amount of his vacation time at his vacation homes in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as well as Camp David and his Wilmington, Delaware, residence.
