Internet reacts to Joe Biden's address to the nation 

Following the announcement of ending his candidacy, Biden's supporters are being criticized for allowing a coup on the president to drop out from the race.

"You let the Democrats stage a coup on you, Joe. Stand up for democracy and tell them you are staying in the race," reacted a user to President Joe Biden's post on X.

Amid his recovery from Covid-19, crazy assumptions are being made that Biden has died with the #RIPJoeBiden hashtag also trending on X since Monday, July 22, despite the fact that this is unfounded.

'Will this be another preplanned recording? We want proof of life. Anybody see Joe yet?" wrote one. "Are you even alive??" wrote one more.

"You gonna resign, big guy?" asked one.  "Thank you POTUS You are a man of decency and honor. May Kamala carry the torch to protect democracy!!!" one Democrat supported wrote. 

Few made assumptions that like Biden's recorded interviews post Trump debate fiasco this adress too will be pre-recorded with one asking, "This one gonna be “recorded” too?" 

One mocked at the president assertion asking, "What "lies" ahead. lol."
