Joe Biden spoke to the nation from the Oval Office Wednesday night about his sudden decision to drop out of the presidential race on Sunday.

Many viewers posted their observation that Biden appeared to have a large bruise on the left side of his jaw.

Pool photos taken by Evan Vucci for Getty show a darker patch of skin on the left side of Biden’s jaw that was not able to be concealed by the skin bronzer covering Biden’s face. (The room lighting appears even and is not casting much of a shadow on Biden’s jawline on either side):

The apparent bruise even showed up in a photo taken and posted by New York Times photographer Doug Mills of President Trump watching Biden’s speech on Trump Force One following a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina.

It is also discernable in a photo posted by the Trump campaign’s Margo Martin:

Photos taken by Saul Loeb/AFP/GETTY on Tuesday of Biden arriving at Joint Base Andrews after spending six days at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware vacation home recovering from COVID do not appear to show any bruise or discoloration.

Conservative activist Robby Starbuck asked, “So, is the White House going to explain the big bruise on Biden’s lower jaw or pretend it doesn’t exist? I’m betting they pretend it doesn’t exist.”

Laura Loomer, “What is the bruise on Biden’s chin from?”

Others noticed it as well:

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is scheduled to hold a briefing at 1:30 p.m. EDT Thursday. Perhaps a reporter will ask her about Biden’s apparent bruise.
