President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced yesterday. He is experiencing mild symptoms, like a runny nose and a nonproductive cough. Biden is both vaccinated and boosted against the virus.
After delivering a speech in Las Vegas, he will return to Delaware to self-isolate, continuing his duties remotely. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre assured the media that the President will keep performing his full responsibilities, and Biden’s doctors noted that his vitals were normal as he started the Paxlovid treatment.
The diagnosis comes amid rising pressure from Democrats, some of whom are questioning his campaign for reelection. Despite his illness, Biden remains committed, he says, to his role, emphasizing his determination to serve.
The White House has promised regular updates on his health. The development follows Biden’s previous positive COVID-19 test in July 2022, adding to the political tension as the November elections approach.
