Biden has only spent 4 of 15 full days in White House since Afghanistan crisis began
crisis began in earnest on August 6, as the Taliban swept into power, forcing the United States to abandon its embassy in Kabul and deploy thousands of troops to secure the city's airport and run evacuations.
But nevertheless, the president has spent a remarkable amount of time away from the center of government power and decision-making in the White House amid one of the worst international crises in recent memory. He's traveled multiple times to both his private residence in Wilmington, Delaware and the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland, according to his public schedule.
REPORTERS PERPLEXED BY BIDEN'S CIMMENTS ON AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL: ‘THE REALITY AND THE RHETORIC ARE MILES APARTBiden was originally scheduled to leave the White House for Delaware Friday afternoon. But under intense scrutiny, the White House changed his schedule so he would remain in D.C. For example, Biden was in Wilmington on August 13 before traveling to Camp David where he stayed for the entirety of August 14 and 15. On August 15 – the Sunday when the Taliban took Kabul and the U.S. embassy was abandoned – the White House tweeted a photo of the president in a video call with top officials in an otherwise empty conference room at Camp David.
