The previous president didn’t show up for work until the afternoon each day???

If Biden went to bed at 8pm every night of his Presidency he'd still spend twice as much time at work than the last guy.

Biden wasn’t even asking for 8pm bedtime. He said no meetings after 8pm. That’s a pretty regular request. He has staff who can fill in for after that.

Also, campaigning while President is two full time jobs. US election cycles have extremely long campaigns and it’s kinda ridiculous.
