Biden’s Schedule For The Week Includes 2 Phone Calls And 1 Meeting Before He Leaves For His Beach House

President Joe Biden’s schedule for the week of August 4-10 was noticeably empty once again as the 81-year-old commander-in-chief’s biggest events were two phone calls and one meeting with the 2023 World Series-winning Texas Rangers.

Biden, who dropped out of the 2024 race last month but insisted he maintains the mental and physical capacity to remain as president, talked over the phone with King Abdullah of Jordan on Monday before flying from his Delaware home to the White House, according to his public schedule.

The president’s next big events of the week are scheduled for Thursday afternoon, when he will call Hawaii Democratic Gov. Josh Green and Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen “to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the tragic Maui wildfires and those who lost their lives.” Later on Thursday, Biden will meet with the Texas Rangers at the White House “to celebrate their 2023 World Series championship season.”

The president and first lady, Jill Biden, will depart the White House on Thursday night for their beach home in Rehoboth, Delaware.

Biden’s light schedule is in the middle of the U.S. facing crises on multiple fronts over the past two weeks, including escalations in the Middle East and a stock market scare. After Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered direct strikes on the U.S. ally. Iranian-backed terrorists also attacked a base in Iraq, injuring several U.S. personnel.

The president was briefed on Iran’s threat earlier this week in the Situation Room, but he has not given a press conference or addressed the American people since the escalation.

Biden’s empty schedule was pointed out on X by RealClearPolitics co-founder and President Tom Bevan, who wrote, “Biden’s schedule this week is truly absurd. 1 phone call on Monday. Nothing Tuesday or Wednesday. 1 phone call and a ceremony on Thursday & then off to the beach house.”

“Biden is the leader of the free world working 10 hours a week,” Bevan added.

Fox News and Townhall columnist Guy Benson commented on Biden’s schedule, writing, “Media didn’t care about this sort of thing for 3+ years, so they *really* won’t care about it now that they’ve thrown him off their party’s ticket.”
