Claim: The absence of the presidential seal on Biden letter announcing his exit from the presidential race proves “this wasn’t Biden’s choice.”
Posts on X claim that because the Biden letter posted on X letting the people know he was leaving the race was missing the presidential seal. That means it’s not real.
For some social media users, something was missing from President Joe Biden’s letter announcing his exit from the presidential race: the presidential seal.
Biden published the letter July 21 on X. On the same day, an X user posted a side-by-side comparison of Biden’s letter and former President Richard Nixon’s resignation letter, saying, “Even Nixon’s resignation letter had the Presidential seal on it. Why doesn’t Biden’s?”
“This wasn’t Biden’s choice whatsoever,” the post said.
