Donald Trump responded to President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the election race Sunday by angrily attacking his former opponent and baselessly claiming he “never had COVID.”
After immediately reacting to the news by trashing Biden as “the worst president in the history of our country,” the 2024 GOP nominee continued the flaming in a fusillade of posts on his Truth Social platform. “Does anybody really believe that Crooked Joe had Covid?” Trump wrote in one. “No, he wanted to get out ever since June 27th, the night of The Debate, where he was completely obliterated.”
Biden announced his decision to drop out Sunday afternoon, describing his withdrawal as being in the “best interest” of his party and the country. The announcement, which came while the 81-year-old recovered from COVID at his vacation home in Rehoboth, Delaware, was reportedly a surprise to many of his staffers who weren’t told of Biden’s decision until one minute before the news was made public.
