Will Joe Biden still be kickin' on the 4th of July?
89% of users predicted YES — the community got this one right. 37 predictions cast.
Former President Joe Biden, 83, marked the United States' 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, remaining alive and publicly active through the holiday and resolving the question yes. Biden joined fellow former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama in issuing public messages commemorating the semiquincentennial. His statement echoed the others in emphasizing that Americans have prospered since 1776 because successive generations fought to defend democracy.
Biden had faced persistent speculation about his health after leaving office in early 2025, and his public appearances had grown infrequent following reports earlier in 2026 concerning a cancer diagnosis. A Page Six report in April 2026 documented one of his rare public sightings, at a restaurant in Santa Monica, California. That low profile fueled the underlying question about whether he would still be alive on Independence Day.
The July 4 message, released alongside the other living former presidents, confirmed his continued participation in public life on the date in question. The community forecast aligned with the outcome, with 89 percent of participants anticipating that Biden would still be alive on the Fourth of July.
