Laura Loomer, a far-right internet personality, claimed on social media that President Joe Biden suffered a medical emergency on Air Force One en route to Delaware. Despite the post gaining traction online with Elon Musk's reaction, reports confirmed the allegations as completely false.
According to Forbes, Biden arrived safely in Delaware after a campaign event in Madison, Wisconsin. The White House categorically denied the rumors, saying the claims of a medical emergency were '100% false', BNO News reported.
Laura Loomer later shared a screenshot, likely from an email, showing a travel pool report from the president's home in Wilmington at 7:50 p.m., where the president was not seen. This incident highlights the importance of verifying information before spreading potentially harmful misinformation.
“So where is he? And why are reporters who were set to travel with Biden on Air Force One today told they can't, all of a sudden?,” she wrote.

Biden undergoes medical check-up, told to avoid events after 8 p.m
According to the New York Times, Washington Post and several other outlets, President Joe Biden was examined by a doctor after his first presidential debate with former President Donald Trump.
In a closed-door meeting Wednesday, the president told the Democratic governor about the doctor's visit. The test was allegedly related to a cold he caught during the debate and was not considered a cause for concern.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates confirmed the visit to The New York Times, but White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday that Biden had not seen a doctor since February.
Biden also told the governor that he needed sleep after spending many late nights and days in foreign time zones. He has traveled to several locations in France and Italy as well as throughout the US since May. The president plans to limit his working hours after 8 p.m
