During the debate, unnamed staffers hit ‘send’ on more than 20 posts from Biden’s account. Who sent this one?
It wasn’t until Joe Biden’s X account posted a statement Sunday afternoon that some of the president’s staff found out he would not be running for reelection, Politico reported. But are we sure the post wasn’t news to Joe too?
A few minutes before 2:00 p.m., Biden’s X account posted an image of a letterhead document announcing he would “stand down” from the 2024 campaign. The note said Biden would “speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.” Half an hour later, a post offered his “full support and endorsement” to Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democrat nominee.
Biden, who is supposedly dealing with a Covid infection, has yet to be seen alive, much less conduct a press conference. His public schedule indicates he’s been at his Rehoboth Beach house in Deleware since Thursday. Biden’s last address to the nation was one week ago, after former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.
