‘WHERE IS HE?’: Martha MacCallum Grills Eric Swalwell On Biden’s Mysterious Disappearance

President Joe Biden hasn’t been seen in public since announcing he would end his reelection campaign, forcing allies to issue vague or deflective answers about his well-being as calls for his resignation ramp up.

One of those allies is liberal Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who on Monday took questions from Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum about where Biden has been since he was last seen boarding Air Force One on Friday. On Sunday he released a letter on social media stating that he was dropping out of the race and hours later endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Nine months went by without a cabinet meeting, and when there were cabinet meetings they were somewhat scripted,” said MacCallum. “I mean the things that are coming out now about what we were told about ‘Oh he’s fine, he runs circles around everyone.'” She noted that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre canceled the daily press briefing and instead will appear on ABC’s liberal “The View” program Tuesday.

“Just for the American people, Eric, what should they think about all of this? That, I mean, a lot of people go, ‘This is crazy!’ Where is he?” MacCallum asked in remarks reported by the Daily Caller.

“Well, they should think that for the past 43 months, he hasn’t had any cabinet controversies,” Swalwell quipped, conveniently ignoring Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s mismanagement of major train derailments and widespread scheduling outages at the nation’s leading airlines.

“Because they’re not meeting apparently!” MacCallum joked. “You can’t have controversies if you don’t meet and tell everybody what to say when they walk in the room.”

WATCH:

Swalwell goes on to list the accomplishments he sees Biden leaving behind after one term in office, citing infrastructure projects along the nation’s roads and bridges and the CHIPS Act, which expands national efforts to produce semiconductors and wean off reliance on the necessary minerals and resources exported by China.

“Don’t they deserve to hear from the president then?” MacCallum asked.

“He’s going to speak to the American people,” the Democrat responded, with no intention of sharing when that might be.

Apart from his letter declining to seek a second term, President Biden has not addressed the nation, a promise initially made to reporters by the White House but has since languished. The 81-year-old has reportedly shown signs of improvement after a bout with Covid and on Monday called into a Harris rally for a brief few minutes.

“But again, his cabinet will show up at Kamala Harris’ acceptance of her nomination speech. Donald Trump wasn’t able to say that,” Swalwell said.

Washington lawmakers have increased their calls for President Biden to resign, citing his deteriorating health and decision to drop out. On Monday Sen. Steve Daines (R-MO), who chairs the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, urged the Democrat to do what’s best for the country and immediately step aside.

“If Joe Biden is no longer capable of running for re-election, he is no longer capable of serving as President. Being President is the hardest job in the world, and I no longer have confidence that Joe Biden can effectively execute his duties as Commander-in-Chief. It is out of concern for our country’s national security that I am formally calling on President Biden to resign from office,” Daines said in a statement.
