As more and more “bombshells” drop about former President Joe Biden’s last days in office — many coming from the soon-to-be-released “Original Sin,” written by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson — one question has remained top of mind especially for critics of the last administration: “Who was running the country?”
Revelations from the book thus far have included, among other things, claims from Biden’s cabinet members that they were actively kept from meeting with him — claims that appear substantiated by the fact that he only held three full cabinet meetings in 2023 and one in 2024. Tapper and Thompson were also told that Biden failed to recognize his longtime friend — and host — actor George Clooney at a Hollywood fundraiser.
The more evidence piles up, the more critics ask: if Biden was clearly incapable of finishing the 2024 presidential race, then how could anyone say he was still capable of serving as president? And if he was incapable of serving as president, “who was running the country?” And, on a related note, where was Vice President Kamala Harris?
“Dems/media still missing the story on Biden. Yes, it’s bad that you guys lied about his health. But it’s amazing that nobody is asking WHO WAS RUNNING THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, because it was clearly not the guy we elected. We had a soft coup,” one person posted, noting that legacy media outlets seemed wholly uninterested in that story.

“So, who exactly was running the country from 2021-2024?” author Carol Roth asked.

“Watching President Trump operate, flying around the world, making deals, up early, shutting it down late, involved in everything, you realize he is a once in a generation phenom. One of the greatest to ever do it. But it forces a terrifying question. Who the hell was running the country the last four years under Biden? How? Because it sure was not him,” another posted.

“I asked this on CNN, I’ll ask it again. Who in the hell was running the country if Biden was clearly incapable of doing the job,” Shermichael Singleton asked.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings raised the same question:
WHO was running our country?
The very fact that America even has to ask this question is scandal enough.

Others turned the question on then-Vice President Kamala Harris:
“So, is anybody gonna report on where Kamala Harris was during all this time that Joe Biden was unfit to be president, or nah?”
