President Joe Biden‘s youngest brother said Sunday that he believed the 81-year-old was bowing out of the race due to health concerns.
WHAT FRANK SAID
Frank Biden made comments to both CBS and ABC News, telling CBS ‘in my humble opinion absolutely’ the president’s health was part of Biden’s decision to announce that he wouldn’t run for reelection – endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the process.
‘Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we has left,’ Frank Biden told CBS.
He also told ABC News that the decision ‘boils down’ to Biden’s ‘overall health and vitality’ but also ‘beating this genuine threat to our nation in the form of Donald Trump.’
BIDEN FAMILY DON’T LIKE HIS WORDS
But a Biden family source poured very hot water on Frank’s claims. ‘Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks,’ the source told CBS. ‘What he said … is completely untrue.’
Biden is also said to not have made his decision based on his health or age, despite showing signs of cognitive decline.
He was in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, battling COVID when he and his closest aides composed the letter announcing he would step aside.
Frank Biden has caused tension with the rest of the family for using the president’s name when discussing his business.
