President Biden’s Getaway: 37% of Year Spent on Vacation

A new report reveals that President Joe Biden spent over a third of the past year away from the White House, seeking refuge at various getaway spots, including his Delaware residences, vacation destinations, and Camp David. The New York Post’s review of public records shows that the 81-year-old president was absent for 138 days in 2023, accounting for 37% of his time.

Delaware was a favored retreat for Biden, who spent a significant portion of his getaway days at either his personal residence in Wilmington or his sun-and-sand hideaway in Rehoboth. In addition to Delaware, he enjoyed official vacations in St. Croix, Lake Tahoe, and Nantucket, spending a total of 22 days on official vacation in 2023.

President Biden’s getaway days in 2023 were only slightly less than the previous year, where he spent over 38% of his time at similar locations. The report notes that Biden’s time away from Washington surpasses that of all recent presidents, with George H.W. Bush being the closest competitor, spending 36% of his presidency at getaway spots.

The New York Post also highlights Biden’s five notable vacations in 2023, including a stay at a St. Croix compound owned by Democratic donors Bill and Connie Neville and a 20-day period in August spent either in Delaware or at Tom Steyer’s $20 million Lake Tahoe estate.
