Joe Biden has officially withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race, as confirmed on Sunday. The announcement was made via social media platform X, where Biden's decision was shared without a detailed explanation for his withdrawal.
Frank Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, spoke to CBS News about the situation. He attributed the decision largely to Joe Biden's declining health. "I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left," Frank Biden stated during the interview.
The issue of Joe Biden's health has been a topic of speculation and discussion, despite consistent denials from the Biden administration regarding any significant health concerns affecting his political decisions. Frank Biden emphasized that Joe's health played a "considerable role" in his choice to step down from the presidential race.
The absence of recent public appearances by Joe Biden has led to further conjecture about his well-being. Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Dana Perino voiced their concerns over not having seen recent footage or photographs of Joe Biden. Baier noted, “Not physically seeing Biden – not addressing a camera in Delaware, let alone an Oval Office statement like LBJ did…it is disconcerting, isn’t it?” Perino added her thoughts by saying, “Right! They didn’t even release a White House still photograph. Nothing!”
These discussions reflect ongoing public interest and concern regarding Joe Biden's current state of health and visibility following his exit from the presidential race.
