Staff Reports
Joe Biden has finally decided to take a permanent vacation from the presidential race, but not without a heavy dose of drama that would make even a soap opera writer cringe. After weeks of dodging requests from the media and fellow Democrats who clearly wanted him to step aside, he formally announced his decision in a memo posted to X, claiming it was in the best interest of both his party and the country. Apparently, “best interest” translates to “I can’t raise any cash for my campaign and I can’t keep hiding from questions about my health.”
The Democratic donor class had evidently sent out the memo—in a way, they always do—making it clear that Biden’s political goose was cooked without the financial backing to fuel his campaign. There’s a saying in politics: “No money, no party.” And with Biden’s campaign accounts looking as empty as his promises, he had no option left but to bow out. But the real drama lies in his mysterious absence. It’s been weeks since anyone has seen or heard from him, even via some staged friendly camera call in Rehoboth Beach, where he supposedly went to recover from COVID.

The public has a right to wonder why Biden wouldn’t address the nation directly after such a monumental announcement. Instead, it fell to his Chief of Staff to break the news to the Cabinet. It’s no wonder speculation is rampant about Biden’s health, especially after his brother, Frank, tossed out a comment that sounded more like a eulogy than a rally speech. Frank expressed pride in his brother’s selfless decision and then seemingly alluded to the fact that they should cherish what time they have left together. Those words raised eyebrows and stirred up all kinds of speculation. When people start to talk about “whatever time we have left,” alarm bells go off.
The absence of any sign of life from Biden has led to wild theories—some are even whispering that we might be witnessing our very own “Weekend at Bernie’s,” with the president’s spirit being supported by his aides. Fox News analysts sounded the alarm on national television, with one commentator even implying that Biden might need a serious check-up to prove he’s alive and kicking. Photographs and reassuring video clips of living leaders typically provide an air of confidence; instead, the White House has gone quiet. Not even a still photograph has crossed the pubic’s eyes. This does not look good; it looks…well, suspicious.
A source close to the Biden family quickly jumped in to douse the flames of speculation—not that anyone’s buying it. The Democrats might think they can keep the lid on this one, but America is not so easily distracted. Forget the inner workings of the Democratic Party; people want transparency. If there’s nothing to hide, then where’s Biden? It’s too late for vague reassurances and hopeful platitudes. America deserves to see the president, preferably upright and smiling—not tucked away like a secret laughing stock at a bad comedy club.
