Biden cancels scheduled trips, hasn't been seen in public for nearly a week [VIDEOS]

Joe Biden has stopped nearly ten trips after his announcement that he would no longer participate in the next presidential race.

A White House source revealed to the New York Post that Biden had canceled a total of nine upcoming trips, noting that the cancellations began “when he announced he was not seeking re-election.”

This development followed Biden's announcement on Sunday that he was withdrawing from the presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My first decision as the party's candidate in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as vice president. And it was the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV

The White House did not provide a reason for canceling the trips, but according to the New York Post's source, they were a mix of campaign and official presidential stops.

Biden's illness was unrelated to the sudden decision, as presidential physician Kevin O'Connor said Monday that Biden had almost recovered from the illness.

“They started canceling things when he announced he wasn't seeking re-election,” the source said.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire had expected a visit from Joe Biden on Thursday to discuss recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Beryl, but said the trip was canceled after Joe pulled out.

Biden was scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, but neither he nor Kamala Harris bothered to show up.

ENTRANCE ONLY;

Prime Minister of Israel @netanyahu and his wife Sara just arrived in Washington DC.

Neither Joe Biden nor @KamalaHarris they were there to greet him. They didn't even give Netanyahu i @Israel a proper diplomatic welcome as an ally of the United States.

The president's next “tentatively” scheduled trip is more than a week away where Biden will travel with Vice President Kamala Harris to an undisclosed location on July 31.

Biden, 81, has not been seen in public since the night of July 17 when he was diagnosed with COVID-19.

After the diagnosis, the president was seen struggling to get on and off Air Force One and into his motorcade.

You should definitely check it out. But note that I think we “saw” Biden get on Air Force One in Las Vegas, and we also “saw” him get off Air Force One after arriving near his home in Delaware, I think. So whatever “medical emergency” there was, it didn't stop… pic.twitter.com/oj9E7qUYUM

Biden's complete lack of public appearances or even a video address has raised questions some Republican members of Congress calling for a “proof of life” check..

I'm calling for Joe Biden's proof of life today at 5:00 p.m.

He has to stand in front of some camera and discuss whether he is aware that he quit.

Hiding is completely unacceptable.

His campaign suspension announcement came without the official White House letterhead, with a signature apparently added electronically.

Is President Biden Alive?

So obviously he didn't write the memo, or his signature, or the presidential seal… and now his schedule is blank?
