Fact check: Biden didn't take full vacation during Afghanistan withdrawal
The claim: Joe Biden has been on vacation for two weeks
The Biden administration has been criticized for its handling of the departure of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The withdrawal resulted in the Taliban's return to power, and the evacuation of Americans from Kabul has been chaotic.
Some social media users have taken the criticism a step further, saying the president and top officials in his administration are vacationing instead of addressing the crisis.
“Joe Biden is on a 2 week vacation. Kamala Harris has been nonexistent since Inauguration Day. Jen Psaki is taking a break from her duties as Press Secretary for one week," reads text in an Aug. 18 Instagram post. "The country has questions and there is nobody to answer them. This administration is a joke.”

The claim that Biden and key members of his administration are vacationing instead of answering questions about Afghanistan is wrong. While both Biden and Psaki scheduled vacations this month, neither ended up taking them in full. Harris has participated in multiple meetings about the situation in Afghanistan.
