It’s like something out of a TV medical drama. New reports are surfacing about President Joe Biden’s recent health scare in Las Vegas, and it’s got everyone talking. At 81, Biden has announced that he won’t be running for re-election, sparking a flurry of speculation.
Biden dropped the bombshell on Sunday that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election in 2024. He said it was in the “best interest of my party and the country.” This came after a series of concerning incidents during his trip to Sin City.
From what we hear from a source close to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, Biden had an “emergency situation” requiring immediate medical attention. The U.S. Secret Service was ready to whisk him off to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, but there was a sudden change of plans. Instead, Biden was airlifted back to the East Coast—rumored destination: Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk is not convinced. He took to social media questioning the lack of transparency around Biden’s health and his sudden schedule changes. “I didn’t think too much about this lead, seemed too wild to be true, but given that Joe Biden has been out of public sight for days and dropped out of the race via an X post, and his brother James indicated health was a factor, I’m beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported,” Kirk wrote.
Just days before his Vegas emergency, Biden tested positive for COVID-19 which adds another layer of concern. After testing positive, he was seen making a slow exit from Air Force One at Dover Air Force Base on Monday. Since then, he’s been noticeably absent from public view, fueling rumors about his health condition.
James Biden hinted that health concerns were indeed a significant factor in the decision not to seek re-election. “I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left,” he told CBS News, adding fuel to the speculation fire about Biden’s health.
Looking at Biden’s medical history, he’s had surgeries and treatments for various conditions, including gallbladder surgery and non-melanoma skin cancers. His more recent health issues, such as a stiffened gait and speech stumbles, have been chalked up to aging and orthopedic injuries by his doctors.
In his resignation letter, Biden expressed his gratitude towards Kamala Harris and the American people. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” he wrote. “And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
As we wait for Biden to address the nation later this week, everyone is on edge. We’re all eager to understand the full scope of his health issues and what they could mean for the future of American politics.
