Joe Biden, the incumbent President, has reportedly cancelled nine scheduled trips across the United States, following his surprising decision to withdraw from the presidential race.
This unexpected move comes despite his physician's assurance that his COVID-19 symptoms have "almost resolved completely," and that his vitals are "absolutely normal." The source, who chose to remain anonymous, was not privy to the reasons behind the sudden cancellation of the President's plans.
According to The Post Millennial, the source revealed, "They started canceling stuff when he announced he wasn't seeking re-election. He was supposed to leave today to start the west coast trip, but they extended his stay in Rehoboth until the 24th." The President's itinerary included official and campaign events in California, Colorado, and Texas, as well as a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The abrupt change in plans has left many puzzled, including Houston Mayor John Whitmire. He disclosed that a scheduled meeting with President Biden to discuss the response to Hurricane Beryl was canceled at the last minute. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Mayor Whitmire expressed his gratitude towards the administration and wished the President a speedy recovery.
Since his announcement to withdraw from the presidential race, President Biden has maintained a low profile, making only one public appearance. This was during a call to Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign event. During his brief address, he pledged his support to Harris, stating, "I'm not going anywhere," and promised to be "out on the campaign with [Harris] working like hell."
The President's decision to withdraw from the race and subsequent cancellation of his trips have sparked speculation and raised questions about his health and the future of his administration. However, Biden has assured the public that his COVID-19 diagnosis is merely "keeping me out of people's hair for the next three or four days." As the nation watches with bated breath, it remains to be seen how these developments will impact the political landscape and the upcoming election.
