Former President Joe Biden was spotted fumbling with a beach chair in Malibu on Thursday, kicking off his first Independence Day weekend since being forced out of the 2024 race after a humiliating debate with Donald Trump.
Now 82, the ex-president looked frail but content as he lounged under a red umbrella with Jill Biden, while his grandkids played nearby on the sand — just a short walk from Hunter Biden’s coastal mansion.

During his presidency, Biden never released cognitive test results, nor PSA screenings that could have detected the cancer earlier.
Biden, who infamously took more vacation days than any modern president, racked up 577 days off during his four-year term. He spent them at luxury spots like St. Croix, Nantucket, and Rehoboth Beach.
Those beach trips gave Americans more than just postcards — they gave viral clips of Biden falling off a bike, stumbling through the sand, and looking visibly confused — fueling questions about his declining health.
