Joe Biden takes lunch seriously. As vice president, his weekly lunch with Obama wasn’t just a meal. It was a meeting when things really got done, a moment set aside on the White House calendar for the two men to break bread and build out an agenda.
The weekly meal was so important to Biden that he carried over the tradition to his own presidency. "I made the same deal with her that Barack and I made," he said of his newly minted vice president just weeks after his inauguration. That meant drop-in privileges at the Oval Office and carte blanche over executive office meetings, Biden told People magazine, but also “lunch alone once a week.”
“That's the deal when we're both in-country,” he explained, “which we'll be for a while because of COVID, and I see her all the time.”
And yet, according to a review of the president’s public schedule by RealClearPolitics, Biden and Harris have only sat down to lunch twice this year, a significant drop when compared to the 12 times they shared the meal together by this same point last year.
For Biden and Harris, lunch this year has followed major developments. The two shared a meal on February 8, when the search for a Supreme Court nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer was ongoing, and another lunch on March 30, shortly after Biden returned from Warsaw to rally the West after Russian invaded Ukraine.
White House aides insist that the executive lunches, while important to both Biden and Harris, are not the ultimate barometer of cooperation between the two.

In Kamala's defense, Joe wouldn't even remember the pain 4 minutes after the lunch was over.
What? What? Biden’s a two bit liar and so is heels up?
I’m shocked I tell you - shocked.
Ya, but he’s sent her several McDonald’s gift cards, so she can go to lunch...
Ha! Neither one of them has anything to say...so why meet for anything??
Maybe Joe was expecting her to be serving the coffee.
You’re my little chuchy face and you’re my teddy bear...
I guess he couldn’t foresee the pitfalls created by choosing an officeholder strictly by their sex and skin color.
It gets you something like Kamala and Brown-Jackson.
To be fair, I don’t think Kamala has been in Delaware has she?
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reference. How fitting. Nice.
Same thing happened with Willie Brown.
I imagine Dr. Jill has told Jo Jo that she doesn’t appreciate the thing he has going on with minority women.
They must be both ‘Out to Lunch’.
Not enough “Cream of Wheat” to go around?
Also in Joe’s defense, he probably thinks he has had lunch meetings with her every week.
To be fair, not everyone likes to eat pudding ang baby food every day.
Gee, I can only imagine how those conversations would be.
What a crock. "Things" (the seditious, anti Christ, anti liberty, anti American acts) got done while O'Dummy was still in bed. Then, when he got up around 11am, he glanced at the bills his staff (the raghead brotherhood) had already signed.
And pedo joe was nowhere to be found. Not even O'Dummy, the greatest fraud of all time, trusted his second in command.
Leave it to joe to (foul) things up
