President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, experiencing mild symptoms despite being vaccinated and boosted. This news comes as the 81-year-old faces pressure to step aside due to his age, with top Democrats expressing concerns about the impact of his candidacy on other House and Senate races. Biden plans to isolate at his home in Delaware while continuing his presidential duties, and his doctor confirmed he has been given medication and is feeling fine.
During a campaign stop in Las Vegas, Biden interacted with supporters at a Mexican restaurant before cancelling a speech and heading back to Delaware. The president’s illness has stirred further speculation about his ability to run for re-election, especially after a challenging debate performance against Donald Trump. Despite calls for him to withdraw from the race, Biden remains determined to stay in the running, stating that he would consider stepping down only if his doctors deemed it necessary due to a medical condition. The unexpected turn of events has added more uncertainty to an already tumultuous election campaign.
