John Kirby says Biden is 'very engaged' in global conflicts while on his extended vacation

White House national security spokesman John Kirby defended President Joe Biden, who is beginning a second week away from Washington amid global negotiations, arguing the president is “very engaged” in these discussions.

The president spent last week in California after delivering a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19, and is currently at the Biden family home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Kirby insisted Biden is seriously involved in the discussions of a ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group while at the beach and that the president has all the communications he needs wherever he goes.
