Shock in the United States after Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the presidential race. The sudden decision of the current White House leader is being widely commented on worldwide. Fox News added fuel to the fire by calling for proof that Biden is alive.

On the night of Sunday to Monday, July 21, media outlets reported Joe Biden's surprising withdrawal from the presidential race in the United States. Although many observers of American politics anticipated this decision, the manner and timing of its announcement sparked much speculation.

Serving as president has been the greatest honor of my life. And although my intention was to seek re-election, I believe that in the best interest of my party and the country, it is best to step down and focus solely on fulfilling the duties of the president until the end of my term—he wrote in a special letter published on social media by the current president of the United States.

Shortly after this announcement, he also expressed his support for then-Vice President Kamala Harris. He also announced that he would discuss the details of his decision in the coming days, but since then he has not spoken or appeared in the media.

Joe Biden dead? Surprising theory from Fox News

The sudden withdrawal from the re-election candidacy surprised not only global media but also local American stations. Among them were some that even started creating conspiracy theories about the reasons for such an unusual move by the US president.

One was the popular Fox News station, which appealed to people connected to the White House to present evidence that Biden was alive. According to them, announcing such an important decision in a letter instead of in front of the cameras was suspicious. They also noted that he has not appeared in public since that moment.

Republican Congresswoman Boebert also picked up on this and confirmed that she had made such a request to the president's administration.
