With the 2024 general election coming up, one cannot help but wonder: Where is Joe Biden?
You know. The Big Cheese. Top Dog. Big Man in Office.POTUS. The President of the United States of America.
Where’d the dude go?
Is he getting distracted again by an ice cream truck? Is he trying to sign a new bill into law? Is he drinking a cup of joe?
Did he fall off his 10-speed bike again? Or was that a mountain bike? Who knows?
What no one seems to know is what has Biden been doing since he dropped out of the presidential race on July 21?
That is an easy question to answer. Biden is working hard in the Oval Office of the president of course!
But maybe he’s not.
“[Kamala Harris] is Biden,” Republican nominee Donald Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
So has Biden just been disguising himself in his Harris Halloween costume and continued to campaign? Despite his doctor’s orders to slow things down and take more naps?
Maybe that’s the reason why no one knows where he is.
Either way, he must at least be somewhere in the vicinity of the White House, right?
If not, where could he be?
What if he is gearing up for celebrating his birthday month in style?
Born on Nov. 20, 1942, Biden will be turning 82 years old later this month. Which, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is seven years older than 75, the average life expectancy for males living in the United States of America.
Nice going Biden!
Maybe he’s been working on a glow up?
“Biden can look more youthful by using retinol, Vitamin C serums, and CBD oil cream,” Alviti, a celebrity stylist, said in an interview with The New York Post.
Maybe after all of that skincare, Biden needed a break.
Perhaps he’s on a nice tropical vacation, that sounds like it would be good for him.
If he is, then one should hope he doesn’t fall out of a coconut tree!
Then again, where would he want to go? Disneyland? Graceland? Dreamland?
Ah, maybe that’s it. Maybe, nobody has seen Biden lately because he is living up to his nickname and has been way too sleepy?
“Biden told Democratic governors during a meeting at the White House [July 3, 2024] that part of his plan going forward is to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so that he can get more sleep,” CNN reported.
Seriously, this really happened. And this was before he dropped out of the race.
“He’s probably sleeping,” senior Nevie Thomspon said. “I think Joe Biden plays bingo, loves applesauce and hates McDonald’s.”
One can only imagine at what time he hits the sheets since leaving the race. Maybe 5 p.m., shortly after eating some applesauce for dinner?
All jokes aside, Biden was recently in Florida, surveying the damage from Hurricane Milton via helicopter. He also stood in line the other day to vote!
President Biden only has approximately two months left until he’s out of office.
After that, he can take all the naps he wants.
Where in the world did our good pal Joe go?
