US President Joe Biden's well-being has become the subject of rampant speculation following his sudden withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.

Biden's decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor has intensified worries about his age and health, particularly after he tested positive for COVID-19 again on July 17th.

Speculation about Biden's well-being escalated on Monday as people noted that he has not been publicly seen since last Wednesday. 

Journalist Owen Shroyer suggested a coup against the president on X, formerly Twitter, stating, “This was a legit coup today. It's not his signature. This is a blatant criminal forgery and a coup.”

Another user on X questioned the circumstances of Biden's withdrawal, asking, “Does anyone find it odd…Biden dropped out of the race with a signed memo and not a video? I get that he’s sick, but really, didn’t the American people deserve to hear it from him directly? Why did it have to happen yesterday? Could it not have waited until after he’s better? What would a day or two matter after months of delay? Has ANYONE outside his inner circle seen him lately?”

These rumours have caught the attention of mainstream media and the public, leading to a frenzy of speculation and concern. Despite the growing conjecture, there has been no official confirmation or denial from the White House regarding Biden's health or well-being.
