The claim: Joe Biden plans to step down as president-elect because of an unspecified health issue
Social media users are sharing a viral image of what purports to be a breaking news report that claims Joe Biden has resigned as president-elect.
The claim appears as a screenshot of an alleged article from FOX Atlanta, published on Jan. 1 with the headline President Elect Biden steps down as President Elect. The post claims his resignation came after consulting with his family and legal team due to an unspecified health issue. I have no idea if this is true. But if it is, are you surprised? I ve been saying this for nearly a month, wrote one user along with the claim in a Jan. 1 post that has hundreds of shares. That Facebook user has not returned USA TODAY s request for comment.
