Biden makes first public appearance after announcing withdrawal from 2024 race

Joe Biden news

President Joe Biden made his first public appearance since announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, traveling from Delaware to the White House on Tuesday.

The 81-year-old president was seen saluting and smiling as he exited his motorcade at Dover Air Force Base, responding briefly to reporters’ questions with a simple, “Well,” following his ‘recent recovery’ from COVID-19.

Biden, who announced his decision to drop out of the race on Sunday, slowly ascended the steps to Air Force One, holding a blue face mask.

Upon landing at Andrews Air Force Base near the White House, he urged reporters to “watch and listen” for his upcoming address to the nation. The quadruple boosted president, who had been isolating in Rehoboth since testing positive for COVID-19, faced growing scrutiny about his health in recent weeks, culminating in his decision not to seek re-election after a series of high-profile incidents and a challenging debate performance against former President Trump.

  1. Don’t know, but if he has just had Covid shouldn’t he be actually wearing the mask to protect his security detail? I mean that’s what they would all have us believe.

  2. I wonder what would happen, if he stepped down as president, and Kamala took over between now and the election’s, I guess people would soon find out what she is really like before hand.
