Political figures on both the left and right have questioned whether Biden is seriously ill or even dead because of the way he announced his withdrawal from the 2024 election race.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, 37, He posted on X on Monday calling for “proof of life” for the 81-year-old and even gave the president a deadline to do so.
The Republican agitator posted: ‘I demand proof of life from Joe Biden today before 5:00 pm’
“He needs to get on camera and talk about whether he’s aware that he left the show. Hiding is completely unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, journalist Glenn Greenwald, an anti-Biden leftist, also posted on the social media site that he found it “strange and wrong” that Biden had not made a televised announcement.
Rep. Lauren Boebert called for ‘proof of life’ from the 81-year-old and even gave the president a deadline to do so
President Biden announced in a letter posted on social media that he was withdrawing his bid for reelection.
Greenwald posted: ‘I don’t support conspiracies about Biden, but still: it’s strange and wrong that Biden hasn’t spoken out given the historic magnitude of his announcement.
“It’s strange for a president to withdraw on Twitter and then disappear. If he’s well enough to make a decision, then he’s well enough to speak.”
Joining Boebert, fellow Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene described Biden’s decision to withdraw in similarly conspiratorial terms.
She posted on X saying: ‘There is a soft civil war going on in the deep state and the elites in power.
‘The Democrats, the IC and their media activists have been lying to us for years saying there is nothing wrong with Biden.
“Then they started a coup against him, demanding that he leave the race when they could no longer hide it.”
Biden’s health was ultimately what ended his campaign after a disastrous debate against Donald Trump, 78, last month.
Concerns about his health have been exacerbated after his younger brother said he had been a factor in his resignation.
Frank Biden told CBS: “I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I’m going to bring him back to enjoy whatever time we have left.”
Journalist Glenn Greenwald also posted on the social media site that he found it “strange and wrong” that Biden had not made a televised announcement.
That choice of phrase sparked speculation that Biden has a secret illness that he has not disclosed.
A leading Parkinson’s disease specialist has visited the White House several times this year, though officials have insisted Biden is in good health.
Biden made the announcement that he was withdrawing from the presidential race by sharing a letter on his social media on Sunday afternoon.
The president was in isolation for Covid-19 at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, when his team drafted the letter.
On Saturday night, Biden called to his side two men who have been there since his early days in politics, advisers Steve Ricchetti and Mike Donilon.
It was Ricchetti and Donilon who provided devastating new data that would help Biden make his decision.
