Sleepy Joe Biden did not appear to have his wits about him when probed by reporters on why he quit his re-election bid.
Spotted emerging publicly for a second time since testing positive for Covid-19 six days ago, reporters eagerly asked Biden, “Why did you drop out?”
However, instead of responding to why he announced his exit from the 2024 race on X Sunday, Biden instead looked confused before laughing and walking away, perhaps he himself not aware exactly why he was forced out.

“IT WAS A COUP!” remarked RNC Research on X.
“Biden doesn’t even know he dropped out, just look at his reaction after being questioned by a reporter,” wrote X user Gunther Eagleman, adding, “This is a coup. An insurrection. The Democrats are not the party of democracy.”
Biden’s second public appearance follows a sighting earlier Tuesday, where he marched straight from his motorcade onto Air Force One, again ignoring reporters’ questions.

Biden’s reelection campaign abruptly stopped on Sunday, with a letter supposedly written by Biden declaring he was throwing his support behind his vice president Kamala Harris to beat Trump.
