When President Joe Biden went viral last week for donning a red Trump 2024 hat during an event commemorating 9/11, it was a stark reminder that since he dramatically dropped out of the presidential race less than two months ago, he has been largely missing from the public eye.

Biden’s 2020 campaign was so low-profile he was accused by his detractors of hiding in his basement. His presidency has more or less followed suit, which is all the more jarring when compared to his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. Biden has given few press conferences or interviews, and he has often left major announcements to his deputies.
