Joe Biden is still isolating at his Delaware home after contracting COVID-19, but right-wingers are jumping on conspiracies that he’s missing.
The president – who was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Wednesday – received his 10th dose of antiviral Paxlovid, according to a statement from his doctor Monday, and “continues to perform all of his duties,” with nearly no symptoms of the virus.
While he hasn’t been seen on camera in recent days, NBC reports Biden called into his campaign staff Monday after his decision to drop out of the presidential race.
That hasn’t stopped some Republicans and right-wing pundits from claiming his whereabouts are somehow unaccounted for, including avowed MAGA acolyte Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who took to X to promote the theory.

“In October of 2020, President Trump had Covid and the WH released a photo of him working in the Walter Reed hospital conference room. Joe Biden has Covid, is forced to drop out of the race by letter, but no one has seen him,” Greene wrote on X. “Where is Joe Biden? What are they hiding?”
Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert demanded Democrats provide “proof of life” for Biden.
“He needs to get in front of some camera and discuss if he’s aware that he dropped out,” Boebert wrote in an X post. “Hiding is completely unacceptable.”
By Monday evening, “Where is Joe Biden” was listed as trending on the app with nearly 100,000 posts as the conspiracies rapidly spread. Conservative journalist Kyle Becker wrote on X that the president had not been seen since July 17.
“That's when he was 'diagnosed with Covid' and was told to self-isolate in Delaware for a week,” Becker wrote in an X post. “It was also days after the Trump shooting.America demands to know: WHERE IS JOE?”
Far right-wing X account Libs of TikTok, which has more than 3 million followers, posted a fake missing persons poster of Biden with a reward of “choco chocho chip ice cream.”
