According to CBS News, Frank Biden, one of two younger brothers to the president, said that Joe Biden’s declining health “absolutely” played “a considerable role” in the decision to drop out of the race, the first incumbent president to do so since Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson did so in 1968.
However, not long after, per CBS News, Joe’s family threw Frank under the bus, claiming that he’s an “alcoholic” who has not spoken to his brother in “weeks,” adding that the claim Joe’s health was a factor is “completely untrue.

WATCH:
Shortly after Biden announced he was dropping out of the race and would not seek reelection, endorsing his vice president, Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump’s campaign put out an ad targeting the veep’s failure to control the southern border and her trademark cackling laugh.
As the video opens, it says, “Warning: The following may upset liberals who don’t want voters to know the truth about Kamala Harris,” then notes her and the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to adequately address the chaotic and virtually open southwestern border.
“If you ever wondered how Joe Biden could get the border so screwed up. Remember, he had help,” a narrator reads. “Here’s Biden appointing Kamala Harris to be his border czar to deal with illegal immigration. And here are a record number of illegal immigrants.”
“10 million and counting flooding over the border after Harris was put in charge of stopping illegal immigration,” the narrator of the Trump ad continues. The ad then shows a clip of Harris during an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt a year or so into her term, where she says she’s not been to the border.
The ad is also permeated with Harris’ laugh, which critics say she often uses when she gets stuck on an issue and cannot come up with an adequate response.
