About
Joe Biden Is Dead Conspiracy Theory, also known as Joe Biden Died From COVID Conspiracy Theory, refers to a conspiracy theory claiming that United States President Joe Biden died in mid-July 2024 after being diagnosed with the coronavirus and dropping out of the 2024 Presidential Election, which conspiracy theorists claim is an excuse for his absence from public. Despite a lack of evidence, the conspiracy theory spread on social media in late July 2024, particularly after he endorsed his VP Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential candidate.
Origin
On July 17th, 2024, U.S. President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 while traveling in Las Vegas and was reportedly experiencing "mild symptoms".[1] Biden did not appear in public for the next five days, reportedly self-isolated in his Delaware residence (seen below). On July 21st, Biden then announced that he was dropping out of the 2024 Presidential Election via a letter posted on his official social media accounts.[2]
Several days after Biden's absence from the public, combined with questions from some regarding the authenticity of Biden's signature on the letter about his exit from reelection,[3][4] a conspiracy theory claiming that Joe Biden was dead began to circulate on X / Twitter and other platforms, with conspiratorial users requesting Biden make a public appearance to dispel the rumors.
For example, on July 22nd, 2024, X[5] user @MattWallace888 posted an AI-generated image of Joe Biden captioned, "RUMORS ARE CIRCULATING THAT JOE BIDEN IS DEAD," with the post gaining over 10,000 reposts and 77,000 likes in one day (shown below).

During this timeframe, some conservative news outlets also began covering the story and the rumors about Joe Biden supposedly "missing," such as Sky News Australia (shown below).
Spread
On July 22nd, 2024, the theory saw viral spread on X / Twitter, especially within right-wing circles, with multiple posts suggesting that Joe Biden might be dead going viral. On that day, political activist and internet personality Charlie Kirk made a post that questioned the official timeline of the events, which received over 18,000 reposts and 64,000 likes on the platform[5] in one day (shown below).
![I'm beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Com Got a weird lead on a story that people should look into. I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro. The official story was that Joe Biden's trip was cut short last week due to COVID. However, according to this source, US Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets so that POTUS could be transported immediately to University Medical, which they began to do in earnest. Then, mysteriously, there was a stand down order and the USSS informed local Vegas PD that they were going to "medivac" POTUS to Johns Hopkins, which they presumed meant fly him back east ASAP. Apparently the rumor mill in the police department was that Joe Biden was dying or possibly already dead. I didn't think too much about this lead, seemed too wild to be true, but given that Joe Biden has been out of public sight for days and dropped out of the race via an X post, and his brother James indicated health was a factor, I'm beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported. If anyone with LV Metro has information, please email Freedom@CharlieKirk.com. I want to hear if there is more to the official story than what they're telling us. 11:54 AM ⚫ Jul 22, 2024 · 16.3M Views](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/867/406/e38.jpg)
Later that day, U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert called for "a proof of life" appearance of Joe Biden, with her post garnering over 4,400 reposts and 26,000 likes on X[6] in one day (shown below).
