Did Biden Even Sign His Own Resignation Letter? Bizarre New Theory Takes Over the Internet — Complete With Photographic ‘Evidence’
A wild conspiracy theory is circulating on social media over claims that President Biden did not sign his resignation letter.
The 81-year-old released president announced Sunday afternoon in a letter on social media that he is withdrawing from the race for the presidency.
Since then, speculation has grown, with conspiracy theorists weighing in on its authenticity, with some convinced that he never signed the letter himself.
His signature on the letter shared on Sunday shows his name underlined, something some commentators say he has never done before.
Billionaire Bill Ackman is one of those who shares this theory online, regularly sharing differing opinions about his X-profile signature.

His signature on the letter shared on Sunday shows his name underlined, something some commentators say he has never done before in the past.
Ackman, 58, shared a post saying, “Lmao there’s no way Biden didn’t sign the letter,” alongside an image of different versions of his signature.
While someone else posted: ‘Yikes. Look at the B, totally different between the latest version and the previous one.
The Jr. is also omitted from the most recent ‘signature’. Wikipedia has a strange habit of adding signatures, their copy doesn’t match the letter either.
“The question now is not only who wrote the letter, but also who signed it. This really looks like a coup.”
Another commenter added: ‘This is a conspiracy theory I can get behind. Biden is dead or something.’
Others have said they will never believe he signed the letter unless there is physical evidence, such as a video or a photograph.
One person posted: ‘No presidential seal, bad signature, and no video. I’m going to keep talking nonsense until I see a video of Biden.’
The president was in isolation at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, due to Covid-19 when his team drafted the letter.

Speculation has since grown, with conspiracy theorists speculating about its authenticity, with some believing he never signed the letter himself.
Donors had raised millions of dollars, the list of Democrats calling on him to withdraw grew longer by the day, and polls showed his chances of beating Donald Trump were shrinking after his disastrous debate performance.
Jill Biden was there when her husband finally made the historic decision after he caved in to mounting pressure.
A spokeswoman for the First Lady said it was solely up to the president to decide and confirmed he was late.

His younger brother Frank Biden told CBS that the president’s health played a role in his decision to step down.
He told the outlet, “I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I’m going to get him back to enjoy the time we have left.”
That choice of words led to speculation among Ackman and others that Biden has a secret illness that he has not disclosed.
A leading Parkinson’s disease specialist has visited the White House several times this year, though officials have insisted Biden is in good health.
“He is a true hero, the country above himself. It sounds cliché in our cynical political climate, but he and I are cynical,” said Frank.
“The goal remains the same: defeat Trump and continue the work that Joe has done. I hope our party will rally behind this act of heroism.”
When asked by the newspaper whether his brother’s overall health played a role in his resignation, he replied: “In my humble opinion, absolutely.”
On Saturday night, Biden called together two men who have been with him since his political inception: advisers Steve Ricchetti and Mike Donilon.
It was Ricchetti and Donilon who brought devastating new data that would push Biden to a decision.
They released the latest internal campaign polls, taken after the debate, which showed he could no longer beat Trump.
Biden’s decision was made shortly afterward, and he asked Ricchetti and Donilon to draft a letter and begin the process of how to make a public announcement, DailyMail.com confirmed. The president also began telling his family.
Following his announcement, Kamala Harris announced that she was running for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Since then, a number of prominent Democrats have endorsed Harris, including California Governor Gavin Newsom.
