On Monday, Greene took to X (formerly Twitter) to question the president's absence from public view. Biden, who recently tested positive for COVID-19, has been recuperating with his family at his Delaware holiday home. Greene posted, "Where is Joe Biden? Serious question. Is he ok?"  @mtgreenee / X

Conway swiftly replied to the congresswoman's post, asking, "Are you okay, babe?" This response garnered significant attention, amassing over 7.4 million views on the platform.  @claudiamconwayy / X

The exchange prompted support for Conway from social media users, with comments praising her quick wit. One user wrote, "You are a spit fire and I love it!!" while another remarked, "Claudia for the win!"  Mitsu Yasukawa/ Northjersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK

This incident is not Conway's first foray into political commentary on social media. She has previously been vocal about her political views, often criticizing former President Donald Trump. Following a recent assassination attempt on Trump, Conway shared her thoughts on political discourse in America.

She wrote, "I hope I can speak for all of us, left, right, or center, when I say that hate and vitriol have no home in our democracy—ESPECIALLY violence." Conway further emphasized the importance of civil disagreement and loving one's neighbors.  Mitsu Yasukawa/ Northjersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK

In a separate post, Conway reflected on her personal growth, stating, "I used to be a very stubborn, close-minded 15-year-old girl. I can tell you that having such a narrow view of the world and succumbing to the bubbles of social media will do nothing for you."  @claudiamconwayy / X
