The White House has been almost silent for the past month after Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election on November 5. Ms. Harris rarely appears and “almost disappeared” from the public, while President Joe Biden seems to be keeping his distance from the press. The lack of public activities shows the rather quiet atmosphere of the White House at the end of President Biden’s term, The Hill newspaper commented in an article on November 23. Vice President Harris almost stopped appearing in public after his speech admitting defeat on November 6. During the month, she only attended an event at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day and stopped briefly at the White House during the visit of a foreign leader.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden did not speak to the press during his recent 6-day overseas trip. When asked about this, Ms. Jean-Pierre only said that the president would “communicate” more before the new year, but emphasized that he is known to avoid questions from the media. According to Mr. Michael LaRosa – former special assistant to the president and press secretary of First Lady Jill Biden, Mr. Biden’s lack of presence could affect his legacy in the last few months of his term. Even though he is about to leave office, Mr. Biden’s lack of appearances will not reduce attention to the issue of the president’s age, mental health, and his ability to serve until the end of his term. Mr. LaRosa emphasized that President Biden not appearing in public does not benefit him. Mr. LaRosa also suggested that First Lady Jill Biden should help Mr. Biden return to a dynamic image before the end of his term.
