Israel war: Biden calls it a day before noon, sparking online outrage

President Joe Biden sparked controversy Monday by turning in early amid world strife.

The White House called a “lid,” which in Washington lingo means the president won’t hold any more public appearances for the day, at 11:51 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. While the designation does not necessarily mean the president is not working behind the scenes, the decision nevertheless caused an uproar among Biden’s critics.

“JUST IN: President Biden has called a lid before noon. Americans should not expect to see Sleepy Joe for the rest of the day,” Relentless podcast host Kyle Becker posted on X, the social media outlet formerly known as Twitter. “Even as a Middle Eastern war rages and a European war drags on with no end in sight, Biden will not face Americans or the press. This is not normal.”

Monday is a federal holiday, with the White House releasing statements honoring both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day, and it is not uncommon for Biden to take early lids on holidays and weekends. Many private employers are working on Monday, however, and Israel is going to war with Hamas amid a rapidly rising death toll from this weekend’s terrorist attacks that includes at least nine Americans.
