President Joe Biden emerged on Tuesday for his first public appearance since shocking the political world with a decision not to run for re-election in 2024, flying from Delaware to return back to the White House.
Biden, 81, saluted and smiled as he descended from his motorcade at Dover Air Force base on the tarmac while reporters shouted questions about how he was doing.
“Well,” the president twice said nearly a week after testing positive for COVID and recovering at his beach house in Rehoboth. The very Sunday, on which he made the dramatic move of withdrawing from the presidential race.
The president paused at the top of the stairs for a salute and quick wave before boarding.
Biden got off Air Force One at 2:18 p.m. on Andrew’s AirForce Base in Maryland by the White House, telling reporters to “watch and listen.”
“Why don’t you wait and hear what I say?” he responded when asked what his message will be during Wednesday night’s Oval Office address.
The reporter inquired of President Biden as to why he withdrew from the election, to which Biden laughed.
The president announced on July 17 that he had tested positive for COVID and was isolating at Rehoboth, where he has been taking Paxlovid doses.
As Biden recovered and was out of the public eye, many developed conspiracy theories about his health.
But then on Sunday, Biden – haunted by questions about his mental and physical faculties — dropped a bombshell when he announced he wouldn’t be continuing in the 2024 presidential race.
It has been reported that in the weeks leading up to last month’s disastrous debate with former President Trump, Biden experienced a string of high-profile events so severe he appeared to “freeze up”– prompting an illogical temporary rush for his allies among Democrats.
Aides have said he will speak on Monday at the LBJ Presidential Library in Texas.
