On the night of Sunday to Monday, July 21, media outlets reported Joe Biden's surprising withdrawal from the United States presidential race. Although many observers of American politics anticipated this decision, the manner and timing of its announcement sparked much speculation.
While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term—he wrote in a special letter published on social media by the current president of the United States.
Shortly after this announcement, he also supported then-Vice President Kamala Harris. He also announced that he would discuss the details of his decision in the coming days, but since then, he has not spoken to or appeared in the media.
Joe Biden dead? Surprising theory from Fox News
The US president's sudden withdrawal from the re-election candidacy surprised global media and local American stations. Some even started creating conspiracy theories about the reasons for the unusual move.
One was the popular Fox News station, which appealed to people connected to the White House to present evidence that Biden was alive. According to them, announcing such an essential decision in a letter instead of in front of the cameras was suspicious. They also noted that he has not appeared in public since that moment.
Republican Congresswoman Boebert also noted this and confirmed that she had requested such a request from the president's administration.
