Hours after President Joe Biden told BET News that he would consider dropping out for a medical condition, the White House claims that Biden has tested positive for Covid and is being forced to cancel his speech at the UnidosUS annual conference in Las Vegas.
Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would reconsider staying in the race if a doctor told him he had a medical condition. Ed Gordon of BET News had asked Biden if there was anything that would make him re-evaluate his decision.
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden responded.
Biden is current on all of his Covid shots and boosters. This is his second bout with Covid in four years. He has said repeatedly that his doctors say he has no serious condition. His White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, wrote in February that Biden is “a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
A statement from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden has moderate symptoms, including a runny nose, dry cough, and weakness.
“Earlier today following his first event in Las Vegas, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms,” Jean-Pierre wrote in a statement.
“He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. The White House will provide regular updates on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation,” Jean-Pierre said.
“The President presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorhea [sic] (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general mailaise. [sic] He felt okay for his first event of the day, but given that he was not feeling better, point of care testing for COVID-19 was conducted, and the results were positive for the COVID-19 virus. Given this, the President will be self-isolating in accordance with CDC guidance for symptomatic individuals. PCR confirmation testing will be pending. His symptoms remain mild, his respiratory rate is normal at 16, his temperature is normal at 97.8 and his pulse oximetry is normal at 97%. The President has received his first dose of Paxlovid. He will be self-isolating at his home in Rehoboth,” his doctor said.
Biden’s embarrassing performance in the June 27 debate with Donald Trump last month has created a groundswell of calls for him to step aside, as he appears to be suffering from advanced dementia. Today, Rep. Adam Schiff, a Biden loyalist, called for him to withdraw from the race. Schiff is the highest-profile Democrat to make the case that Biden cannot win.
During his speech to the NAACP on Tuesday, Biden lost his train of thought and rambled incoherently.
Earlier, he had said that only God would tell him if it was time for him to step aside.
But I thought he had 17,000 different Covid shots. He should be immune to the point he cures Covid by walking in a room.
Or, the shots don’t work after all.
Or, elites with above-average intelligence faked it.
But lets get real – we are talking about Biden here.
I think its quite likely the Covid vaccine is responsible for Biden’s decline.
I have a relative that experienced a very similar steep decline during late 2021. Went from aged but capable, to near-invalid within weeks of receiving the 2nd shot. Weak voice, trouble with motion, cloudy thinking, very similar to Biden’s degredation since 2020.
I’ve wondered about that. So little is known about the long term risks.
Take an elderly man who already has two brain aneurysms and was already in cognitive decline. Pump him up with 10,000 different, relatively untested shots with no long term track record.
What could go wrong?
You do realize that the vaccine is designed to reduce serious illness and/or risk of death, not prevent contracting it, right?
Cman, I seem to remember many authorities around the world (to include Joe Biden and Anthony Fauci) assuring me that if I took the shot, I would not catch or spread covid. This message was spread far and wide and repeated over and over. “Very efficacious” they said. I also remember being told that if I did not get vaccinated that I would face a dark winter of severe illness and death.
Don’t you remember being lied to or do you just enjoy the comforts of self gaslighting?
Cman, just because you were dupped, it does not mean the rest of us are as dumb as you to be fooled also.
Wasting your time with cman.
He is a good leftist. He believes whatever the party tells him to believe, without question, even if it contradicts what he was told to believe yesterday.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Science runs on doubt. The more we learned about the illness, the more we learned about the efficacy of the vaccine. What you see as failure, is actually science in action. It has saved many from serious illness and death, not from catching it. Have you ever gotten a flu vaccine and still caught the flu? If so, the same principle applies.
Trump wears a bandaid from a bullet would and Biden wears a mask from Covid. That alone tells you who to vote for.
Great way to keep him out of the public spotlight.

Oh how perfect, isolate him, no visitors put him on a ventilator
Lots of high dose Remdesivir!!
Bring Dr. fauci in to treat him!!!
Covid my *ss. Joe Biden has advanced dementia. He’s a habitual liar. He is a pedophile. A plagurer. A drug enabler to his kid. A crook. A criminal. And he is the counterfeit president of the USA.
Perfect qualifications for commie Democrats.
The dog ate his homework!
Joe Biden is a feckless, cowardly POS. The Democrats all know it.
His own Marxist thugs probably infected him. As I said 2 weeks ago in this blog expect an unfortunate accident. Biden is a walking dead man. These hyenas he has been running with will eat him at the drop of a hat. These are bottom feeding inhumane maggots.
What is Covid-19? From the videos there is evidence all the people around him aren’t concerned, hell he’s not even wearing a mask or otherwise following his CDC’s recommendations. He flew cross country and wobbled slowly out of Air Force One. Any which way, hasn’t covid been over for a few years after having become endemic years ago? Sure seems like catching long covid might be the exit rout for this disgraced politician.
I’m curious about where the usual suspects are who routinely Trump (pun definitely intended) the wonders of the Covid shots.
Oddly they aren’t here. Wonder why?
Because they are dying one after the other. And that’s no lie.
Is this the script that Stephen Spielberg wrote for this movie? What role is DeNiro going to play? Doctor? How convenient!!!! He said that a medical condition could cause him to withdraw. And we got a BINGO!!!! I can’t wait to see how this plays out. Just who are they going to put in to play Brandon’s position?
“HIDE THE DECLINE” using Dr. Jill’s Nature Trick.
What’s that an enema. ??
Joe says he will drop if he has a medical condition?
Is this the same Joe who said he graduated at the top of his class? With three degrees?
Or is this the Joe who drove a semi-truck?
Maybe it is the Joe who has a US Open champion level golf handicap?
Perhaps it is the Joe who claims he has never spewed any divisive political rhetoric?
.
I am going to say the source is not exactly reliable.
I hope he recovers swiftly. I also hope he will consider retirement. Watching a bit of him give that speech in Nevada was almost painful.
Out of curiosity, why Delaware? Why not the White House residence?
Visitors to Deleware don’t have to be logged. Easier to hide.
Everyone is suggesting that the Covid diagnosis will let him gracefully step off the ballot. On the contrary, I think he had another “attack” similar to what happened around the time of the debate, and Biden’s handlers are using Covid as an excuse to haul him back to Delaware so they can hook him up to the baby-blood and stem-cell transfusion machines while he sleeps in his barometric chamber in his basement.
Sloppy Joe’s life has devolved into a Saturday Night Live comedy skit – back when they were funny! Unfortunately, the Deep State comedians will still be writing the script even when Sloppy Joe steps down, which appears to be any day now. They will be a desperate & dangerous existential threat to the United States and the World.
Eventually every crook falls on his own sword. What a way to spend the final years of your life. In Washington DC sewage lagoon.
Apparently I am not allowed to mention senators names in my post in the context that I did because it did not get posted.
My democratic neighbor recently said that she has covid also. Is this the building of the reason to shut down America again?
Probably not. They may want to, but hopefully aren’t that stupid to try. Red states won’t stand for it a second time.
Ginny this American went full speed ahead when Covid hit. I just kept working. No handouts. No mask. After 2 weeks I figured it was a government scam. The democrats threw this bug at us. They also underestimated our resolve. It’s unfortunate how many people died and now how many damaged from vaccine. The politicians involved will pay dearly at some point.
I want to see Old Man Brandon catch his ‘second wind’ over the weekend — okay, maybe his fifteenth wind — and coming out swinging against his own party that would deep-six his presidential aspirations. So long as he secures the nomination, DJT is a shoe-in. The curse of Michelle-ma-belle is too fearful to contemplate. I think she is the only one that can resuscitate Democrat chances in the polls this Fall. The stage is too large for BHO to be the only puppet master; and his bride is only too willing to be a string-free marionette to think this not a possibility. Let’s go Brandon: Pull it together for just another 30 days.
