Social media users question if Joe Biden really signed resignation letter after handwriting comparisons

On Sunday, for the first time in the history of the United States, the president used social media to announce that he wouldn't be running for re-election. Joe Biden did not make a public appearance, or even release a video, leading some to question whether he was behind the decision to drop out of the race in the first place.

Before long, a theory took shape among users on X claiming that the signature on the letter was not actually written by Biden, per the Daily Mail. Comparisons were made to his recent executive orders and other documents, which showed a number of differences. Others questioned why the presidential seal was missing from the letter, and where Joe Biden, who was last seen by the public on Wednesday, was.

Where is the Presidential seal in the Biden letter?

Where is Joe Biden?

As the Daily Mail reports, users pointed to the fact that in the letter, Biden's signature is underlined, and appears to be missing the "Jr," both of which set it apart from previous signatures. Also notable was the size of the "R."
