In his final months, Biden emphasized his "legacy," but a sparse schedule suggests an "empty house" to opponents, according to an expert.

Despite the White House's emphasis on recent policy victories, critics argue that President Biden's minimal public appearances and light schedule may harm America's image abroad.

K.T. McFarland, former national security adviser, stated on Planet Chronicle Digital that Biden has vanished from public sight, Harris is actively campaigning, and won't engage with the media.

""The absence of leadership in the White House sends a signal to the world that we are disorganized and lack direction, causing our allies to question our reliability and our adversaries to see this as an opportunity to take advantage of us without fear of retaliation," McFarland stated."

""If Donald Trump is elected, the window of opportunity will shut, leaving us in a period of maximum vulnerability," McFarland stated."

Biden's public appearances have decreased and his schedule is less busy than before he decided not to run for re-election.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, responded to David Spunt of Planet Chronicle' inquiry about the president's absence from public view by stating that the White House had issued two readouts that day.

Jean-Pierre emphasized that the administration is now in a "different time" and that Americans would "get to see the president… it is certainly the president’s priority, to protect our national security."

In recent weeks, the administration's response to Tropical Storm Debby and the push for a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas have been important issues that have taken Biden's attention.

This week, concerns about mounting tensions in the Middle East intensified as Israel disclosed intelligence suggesting that Iran planned to launch a major attack in response to the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Last week, top U.S. national security leaders stated that they and their allies are urging Israel, Iran, and others to avoid escalating the conflict, despite the U.S. deploying more troops to the region and issuing a threat of retaliation if American forces are attacked.

The White House emphasized that Biden's focus on various issues demonstrates that he is not avoiding the public, as he and the first lady will visit New Orleans this week to promote the Biden Cancer Moonshot initiative, which aims to decrease the cancer death rate by at least half before 2047, according to NOLA.

According to Andrew Bates, the White House deputy press secretary, President Biden is diligently working to surpass the most successful record of any modern administration by achieving more outcomes for the American people.

The Biden-Harris administration has achieved significant recent victories, including the return of unjustly detained Americans from Russia, the manufacturing boom, lower prescription drug costs, and the lowest level of unlawful border crossings in years, as cited by Bates.

Bates criticized the Republicans for hindering the passage of bipartisan border legislation supported by Donald Trump.

Biden will prioritize "legacy items" in his final half-year in office, while giving Vice President Kamala Harris the majority of the attention as she strives to become the first female president of the United States. The White House will reveal Medicare price negotiation savings this week, an initiative that both the Biden and Harris campaigns had aimed to emphasize during their efforts to secure votes in November.

Despite the president's claim of "curing the economy" last week, the White House is still grappling with an uncertain economic outlook following the stock market's recent decline and ongoing concerns about the country's economic well-being.

Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, stated that the July jobs report is being viewed as a recession warning, and the markets are responding accordingly after the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 1,000 points, marking a 2.6% shift and the worst day since September 2022.
