US President Joe Biden sparked public mockery after he was spotted literally running away from reporters this week.
The President was retreating to Delaware when reporters ambushed him for interviews.
According to the reports, at the time, the 80-year-old President had just returned from a vacation in St. Croix. However, after working for only a few days this week, he took off to Delaware, trying to run away from the media.
“Fresh off a four-day work week (and a weeklong vacation in the Virgin Islands before that), Joe Biden literally runs away from the press as he retreats to Delaware. Biden has already spent 282 days of his presidency — 40% — on vacation.” RNC Research reported.
On Saturday evening, President Biden is expected to return to the White House.
The recent controversy came after Joe Biden was slammed after he was spotted on another vacation amid the worsening border crisis in the United States under his administration.

Biden was asked whether he would visit the border after the White House announced that he would visit Arizona to tour a chip manufacturing plant. However, he claimed that he would not as there are “more important things going on” and that “they’re gonna invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise.”
The President’s response then sparked criticisms with Jobe Dickinson, President of the Border Security Alliance, blasting the former for lack of immediate response to the fentanyl crisis which is largely tied to border security.
“During 2022 overdose deaths in AZ rose as high as 41% in year-over-year data published monthly. Illegal fentanyl is the leading cause. How can Pres Biden say while in AZ, he won’t visit the border because “there are more important things going on.” Dickinson blasted.
In addition, the union representing rank and file Border Patrol agents also slammed President Biden, stating that “nothing is more important than the safety and security of the American people, but to President Biden, it is an afterthought. With a record number of people and drugs, including deadly fentanyl crossing our border illegally and evading apprehension, it is apparent that Biden cares more about Politics than our children, friends and neighbors.”
“Biden’s record clearly proves that he cares about politics, not about doing his job of protecting American lives.” Judd lamented.
But despite these statements, Biden still thinks that the Border Crisis is not part of what he called “important things going on.”
“Does Joe Biden ever work? It seems like he’s always off on vacation. I think the last time we checked, he’d already taken more vacation than any of his recent predecessors at this point in his term in office. He’d spent about 40 percent of his time in office on vacation, we noted in November. That was even before his Thanksgiving vacation. At this point, the question isn’t when he’s on vacation, it’s when he isn’t on vacation,” Red State stated.
