WILMINGTON, DE - SEPTEMBER 7: Joe Biden is seen at Janssen's Market on September 7, 2025 in Wilmington, Delaware. Former US President Joe Biden wished followers a “a peaceful and joyful Christmas Eve filled with love” on X on Wednesday, but his obscured presence in the family photo drew much of the attention. The 46th commander-in-chief stood in the back with his face partially blocked by former first lady Jill Biden .

Observers on X, some of whom appear to be Donald Trump supporters, pointed out the oddity . “Why are you in the back, blocked by jill,” someone wrote . “Is it just me or is it weird his own team couldn’t release a pic of the former president that’s not obscured by his wife?” another chimed in . The former president’s message stood out for its warm vibe in contrast to his successor, who ranted at “ Radical Left Scum .” Biden, 83, has mostly stayed out of the public eye since leaving the White House in January. His office announced in May that he had been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that had spread to his bone. He spoke at an LGBTQ+ event earlier this month, urging people to fight back against Trump’s demonization of the community. Related...
