That’s a BS number generated by the GOP. They are saying any time outside of the WH is vacation, when Biden was at home, Camp David and other places but still working.
Trump played golf Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last week, during what was kind of a busy week, what with Elon gutting the federal government and Trump and his entire administration clearly signaling to the world through absurd lies that we are switching sides in the middle of a European war.
Three weekday rounds in a row in this environment? That’s a statement.
The amount of time President Biden spent on vacation during his presidency varies significantly depending on how "vacation" is defined.
According to detailed fact-checking by Snopes, Biden spent approximately 117 to 118 full days completely on vacation, about 8% of his presidency. Including partial vacation days (where Biden may have traveled or conducted partial official duties), the total rises to about 183 to 184 days—or roughly 12.5% to 12.6% of his presidency [oai_citation:4,Fact Check: Did Joe Biden spend 40% of his presidency on vacation? - MEAWW News](https://news.meaww.com/fact-check-did-joe-biden-spend-40-of-his-presidency-on-vacation).
On the other hand, the Republican National Committee (RNC) provided much higher figures—around 577 days (nearly 39%-40% of his presidency). However, this figure is criticized by fact-checkers because it includes all days Biden spent away from the White House (such as at his Delaware homes or at Camp David), even when there was evidence of official work and activities during these periods [oai_citation:3,‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden Spent More Time On Vacation Than Any Other President In Modern U.S. History – One America News Network](https://www.oann.com/newsroom/sleepy-joe-biden-spent-more-time-on-vacation-than-any-other-president-in-modern-u-s-history/) [oai_citation:2,Biden sets record with shocking percentage of his presidency on vacation * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh](https://www.wnd.com/2025/02/biden-sets-record-with-shocking-percentage-of-his-presidency-on-vacation/).
The discrepancy primarily comes down to how each group defines "vacation." If "vacation" includes any day spent away from the White House regardless of work activities, then the percentage approaches 39% to 40%. But considering official duties and partial working days reduces the accurate percentage significantly to around 12.5% [oai_citation:1,Fact Check: Did Joe Biden spend 40% of his presidency on vacation? - MEAWW News](https://news.meaww.com/fact-check-did-joe-biden-spend-40-of-his-presidency-on-vacation).
