Where Is Joe Biden?
When Richard Nixon resigned, he addressed the nation on television, with his departure broadcast for all Americans to witness. Many U.S. citizens are perplexed by Biden’s decision to exit the 2024 election race, which he announced via the social media platform X. The letter raised suspicions for several people as it wasn’t on official White House letterhead, questions arose about the authenticity of his signature, and his younger brother Frank Biden attributed his resignation to health reasons.
Additionally, after receiving several vaccines and boosters, Biden has contracted Covid-19 for the third time. Biden has not yet held a press conference, but Vice President Kamala Harris informed the press that he is recovering from Covid-19. Harris, speaking for the first time since Biden endorsed her, addressed the press at the NCAA Sports Day event held at the White House.
“Our president, Joe Biden, wanted to be here today. He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road,” Harris stated. Naturally, Harris’s update hasn’t quelled public curiosity and speculation about Biden’s whereabouts.
Polymarket has placed a wager for July 23, 2024, titled “Will Joe Biden make an appearance today?” currently valued at $95,415. At 8:56 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, there’s a 57% probability that Biden will appear, an increase of 7%.
Other Polymarket bets show a 60% chance Biden will complete his term, with only a 7% likelihood of his resignation by July 31. However, the odds of his full resignation rise in August, with a 22% chance of stepping down on Aug. 31, 2024, according to Polymarket bettors. Additionally, there’s a mere 5% chance that Harris will be President of the United States by the end of this week.
