Speculation surrounds President Biden's health as he remains out of public sight for days following a sudden cancellation of a Las Vegas event.
On Wednesday, July 17, 2024, President Joe Biden abruptly canceled an event in Las Vegas due to testing positive for COVID-19. Since then, the President has not been seen in public, leading to growing concerns about his health.
On Sunday, July 21, 2024, the Biden campaign issued a statement from the President stating that he was ending his reelection campaign and endorsing Kamala Harris. However, there has still been no public appearance by Biden, although he did phone into a meeting with Kamala on Monday afternoon.
The President called into the meeting from his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he is recovering from COVID-19, to lend his support to Harris. He planned to talk about his decision to step aside in an address to the nation later this week.
Despite the official explanation, rumors have been circulating about the President's health. Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA posted on Monday that he had received a lead on a story that people should look into. According to Kirk, a source close to Las Vegas Metro informed him that the official story was that Joe Biden's trip was cut short last week due to COVID. However, the source claimed that US Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets so that POTUS could be transported immediately to University Medical, which they began to do in earnest.
Kirk also noted that Emily Goodin, the senior White House correspondent for The Daily Mail, reported that on the journey back east, Air Force One "flew so fast the plane shook," arriving in Dover in just 3 hours and 48 minutes.
However, Snopes has labeled the story as an "unfounded rumor," stating that there is no evidence to support the claim that Biden was medically evacuated from Las Vegas.
Despite the lack of evidence, the rumors have been fueled by the fact that the President has not been seen in public for days. This has led to speculation about his health, with some questioning whether COVID or something else has been more serious than reported.
It is important to note that the President's health is a matter of national security, and any information about his health should be taken seriously. However, it is also important to remember that rumors and speculation can often be misleading and should be treated with caution.
As of now, there has been no official statement from the White House regarding the President's health, and it remains unclear when he will make his next public appearance.
In the meantime, Americans will continue to speculate about the President's health and the reasons behind his sudden withdrawal from the reelection campaign.
