In a sudden turn of events, President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to cancel his scheduled appearance at the UnidosUS Annual Conference in Las Vegas. According to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the President is experiencing “mild symptoms” and will self-isolate in Delaware.
Despite this setback, Biden is determined to continue fulfilling his duties as President, albeit from a distance.
“He will continue to carry out his duties as President while in isolation,” Jean-Pierre assured the public. The White House has also promised to provide “regular updates” on Biden’s status while he is in isolation.

This is not Biden’s first brush with COVID-19; he previously tested positive in July 2022. However, the President is vaccinated and boosted, and has received his first dose of Paxlovid, a treatment for COVID-19.
As the news of Biden’s COVID-19 diagnosis spreads, concerns about his health and the impact on his campaign are growing.
However, the President’s team is reassuring the public that he is in good hands and will continue to lead the country despite this temporary setback.
