18th July 2024- The White House has confirmed that US President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid-19 while visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday. According to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the 81-year-old President is self-isolating after experiencing mild symptoms, which led to the cancellation of a scheduled speech.
A video circulating on social media shows Joe Biden walking slowly up the stairs of Air Force One before departing Las Vegas. Speaking to reporters, he reassured them, “Good, I feel good.”
The White House announced that Biden plans to spend a long weekend recuperating at his Delaware beach house. However, the duration of his absence from the campaign trail due to Covid-19 remains uncertain.
Following the diagnosis, Biden’s motorcade swiftly moved to the Las Vegas airport after he taped a radio interview and briefly interacted with people at a local Mexican restaurant. His scheduled speech to the Latino civil rights group UnidosUS was delayed due to the circumstances.
