Where is Joe Biden?

It’s the question Americans are asking after it was announced Sunday via a letter posted by Biden’s X account that the president will not be seeking reelection this fall.

While the communique noted that Biden will “speak to the Nation later this week in more detail” about the decision, Americans have not personally heard from their president about his abrupt exit from the 2024 race. A “week ahead guidance” released by the White House on Monday showed Biden had no public events scheduled for that day and noted that “[a]dditional details” about his schedule for the rest of the week will be “forthcoming.”

The entire situation has essentially left Americans to play a high-stakes version of “Where’s Waldo?”

Sunday’s announcement came amid an onslaught of calls from Democrats, media, and leftist celebrities for Biden to step down as the nominee. Biden initially rebuffed calls to resign and pledged to remain in the race to take on Donald Trump this November.

Given the seriousness of the situation, the American people deserve to hear directly from Biden about what prompted the suspension of his campaign. Here’s a list of 15 questions he must answer.

1. How did you make the decision to bow out of the 2024 race?

2. What made you decide to endorse Kamala Harris as your successor?

3. Why did you resign your candidacy after recently pledging to be Democrats’ 2024 nominee?

4. Why was the suspension of your candidacy announced via letter rather than on camera?

5. Why did it take so long for you to personally address the American public about the suspension of your campaign?

6. How can you and your party justify disenfranchising the 14 million electors who voted for you in the 2024 Democrat presidential primary?

7. If the suspension of your candidacy is due to health-related reasons, how can you justify finishing the rest of your term as president?

8. If the suspension of your candidacy is due to health problems, when did you, your campaign, and White House officials — including Vice President Kamala Harris — learn of these issues and why did you and your team hide them from the American public?

9. If the suspension of your candidacy is due to health problems, what individual(s) is/are running the country while you grapple with your medical issues?

10. If the suspension of your candidacy is not due to health reasons, how is the suspension of your campaign not a coup?

11. Did Kamala Harris pressure/blackmail/bribe you to suspend your campaign?

12. Did former President Obama pressure/blackmail/bribe you to suspend your campaign?

13. Did anyone else pressure/blackmail/bribe you to suspend your campaign?

14. Did your wife Jill have a role in the decision to suspend your campaign?

15. Will you pardon your son Hunter prior to leaving office?
