Following his speech, Biden spent about a week in California before heading to his home at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative commentator Bill Mitchell expressed frustration on X, questioning how Biden could be on his 16th day at the beach while significant issues are affecting the nation. He noted that this amounts to 532 days of vacation\u201440% of Biden&#8217;s presidency\u2014and asked who is managing national affairs while he focuses on sunbathing.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Biden released a statement expressing sorrow over Hamas hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin\u2019s death and mentioned that he worked &#8220;tirelessly&#8221; to secure his return. Many social media users pointed out that this statement was made during his beach getaway.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned about Biden\u2019s activities since his DNC speech, White House officials claimed there is &#8220;no such thing as a presidential &#8216;vacation,'&#8221; asserting that he is always working regardless of location. The president is scheduled to campaign for Harris on Monday before returning to Washington.<\/p>\n<p>While Biden enjoys time by the ocean, former President Donald Trump\u2014who is campaigning for another term\u2014has been actively holding rallies across key states and recently received an endorsement from former Independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. Trump also visited Arlington National Cemetery last Monday to honor service members who lost their lives during America&#8217;s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He criticized what he termed \u201cthe incompetence\u201d of both Biden and Harris regarding this withdrawal on Truth Social, labeling those in power as \u201cFOOLS.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2335233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Biden-Beach-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,5191,5894,15150,3882],"class_list":["post-2335232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-leadership","tag-politics","tag-sun","tag-vacation"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Biden-Beach-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2335232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2335233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2335232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2335232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2335232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
