Verdict: False
The video, which was previously shared in 2023, claims Biden had died, and Biden has been seen publicly since the post was made.
Fact Check:
Vice President Kamala Harris said she would take a cognitive test in response to former President Donald Trump’s comments about her IQ, CBS News reported. She suggested Trump do the same and criticized him for name calling, according to the outlet.
A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a video of what is allegedly a body bag.
The caption reads, “wow. that’s joe biden being wheeled out in a body bag. why is no one talking about this?”
The claim is inaccurate. The video dates back to 2022. The video was also shared in 2023 to claim Biden had died, according to Newsweek. Furthermore, Biden has been seen very recently in public appearances, which were covered by ABC News.
Biden recently spent some time in Delaware, where he also just cast his early vote, according to CBS. He also recently criticized Elon Musk for allegedly working in the U.S. illegally despite his public views on illegal immigrants, AP News reported.

This is not the first time misinformation about political figures has been shared online. Check Your Fact recently debunked a claim that former President Barack Obama claimed Trump tried to kill Mike Pence.
