According to multiple reports, President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 while campaigning in the West. The White House confirmed this information. The diagnosis is causing quite a stir, particularly due to the president’s age and ongoing discourse about his mental health.
Biden was scheduled to appear at an event in Nevada. However, the president and CEO of UnidosUS, Janet Murguía, had to inform the audience about the unfortunate news. Biden had reached out to her to indicate that he couldn’t attend due to his diagnosis.
So, what’s to come? President Biden, who has received both the vaccine and booster, will be returning home to Delaware to isolate, while continuing to fulfill his presidential responsibilities.
Despite having tested positive for COVID-19, he was overheard saying, “I feel good,” while offering a thumbs-up. However, the video of Biden boarding Air Force One is raising a ton of speculation.
First off, keep in mind he’s using the short stairs. Second, he’s not wearing a mask. Third…Yikes!
This is 100% real and unedited video of Joe Biden trying to walk stairs yesterday.
It’s no longer funny. This is cruel.

Here is a video of Biden arriving in Delaware for “self-isolation,” still not wearing a mask.

Biden has been facing a ton of pressure to withdraw from the race after reports broke that Pelosi and Schumer requested he drop out.
Folks, the optics for the Democrats couldn’t be worse. You’ve got Joe frail and fragile because he has a cold.
Then you’ve got this…

CNN’s Van Jones pretty much sums things up. The CNN personality noted that the Democrats are coming apart while the Republicans unite. He also added that the optics are terrible, showing that Biden is stopped by a virus, but a bullet couldn’t stop Trump.
WOW! Van Jones just spoke the truth for the first time:
“A bullet couldn't stop Trump. A virus just stopped Biden.”
