President Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, as confirmed by the White House on Wednesday. The diagnosis was disclosed while Biden was in Las Vegas, Nevada for campaign events, which were subsequently canceled as a precautionary measure.
Upon boarding Air Force One, reporters inquired about the president's well-being and whether he was experiencing any symptoms. Biden responded by stating that he feels 'good' and gave a thumbs up gesture.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a statement indicating that Biden will return to Delaware to self-isolate. Despite this, he will continue to fulfill all his presidential duties during this period. The White House has assured that regular updates on the President's condition will be provided as he carries out his responsibilities while in isolation.
This development comes at a critical time for Biden, as he faces skepticism within the Democratic Party. Some members have expressed concerns about the 81-year-old president's ability to defeat former President Trump in the upcoming November elections.
