Joe Biden’s Brother Frank Makes Shocking Statement About Brother's Decision To Drop Out Presidential Race
President Joe Biden's sibling made a shocking statement Sunday regarding his brother's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential election.
According to his youngest brother, Francis W. Biden, often referred to as Frank, the president's decision to "stand down" is linked to his health, also adding that he's looking forward to spending time with the 46th president to enjoy "whatever time" he has left.
Frank — who was documented referring to his older brother as "the big guy" in 2023, per 'The New York Post' — now voices concern regarding Biden's health in his "humble opinion."

According to 'ABC News' John Santucci, his brother's decision to step out of the race "boils down" to his "overall health and vitality" in addition to "beating this genuine threat to our nation in the form of Donald Trump."
Frank stated his brother's health "absolutely" contributed to his decision to bow out, per 'CBS News.' However; a source close to the family countered those claims, saying Frank suffers from alcoholism, hasn't spoken to his brother in weeks, and "what he said... is completely untrue."
"Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left in our lives," the sibling told 'CBS News.'
Biden had repeatedly urged voters that his health was not a concern amid claims that he should step down due to seemingly visible cognitive decline.
Although the president has repeatedly insisted that his "memory is fine," according to the 'Associated Press,' a New York based neurologist speculated otherwise. Dr. Tom Pitts claimed he could have "diagnosed him [with Parkinson's Disease] from across the mall."
The 81-year-old has recently been diagnosed with COVID-19 and is taking precaution — although social media proceeded to have a field day with his recently announced diagnosis.
Amid his step down, Biden officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. She is expected to accept the Democratic presidential nomination at the Democratic Convention in Chicago Aug. 18 through Aug. 22.
