Joe and Jill Biden were (almost) alone on the beach, staring into the water. On Sunday, the American presidential couple took a bike ride to Kiawah Island, South Carolina, enjoying a day of family rest. Joe Biden, who was surrounded by Secret Service bodyguards but also followed by photographers, did not stop to answer questions from the press. However, he did not fail to smile at the media present, simply throwing them “How are you?”.
This sporting walk is not insignificant since the opponents of the American president regularly question his health, saying that he is too weak or ill to govern. The latter recently caught covid-19 for which he was successfully treated. He had also caused some questions last June after a fall during a similar bike ride. The septuagenarian had finished his race on the ground. Quickly, the White House had communicated on this subject: “As the president explained, his foot got caught in the pedal as he got off his bike and he is fine. No medical help is needed. The president looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family.”
Joe Biden, who is believed to still be suffering from a persistent cough from covid-19, arrived in South Carolina last Wednesday to spend most of the week at Kiawah Island, a beachfront golf resort he visited in the past. In addition to Jill Biden, other family members were at the scene with him on Sunday.
