White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced on Wednesday that Biden’s illness was mild. She assured that the president had previously received both the primary and booster vaccinations, Liter.kz reports, citing BBC news.
Biden, 81, attended a campaign event in Las Vegas on Wednesday. He was scheduled to give a speech in Las Vegas later that evening, but that appearance has now been canceled.
According to Jean-Pierre, the head of the United States is going to quarantine at his home in the state of Delaware, but will still perform all official duties.
His doctor, Kevin O’Connor, told the press that the president had a runny nose and cough and was taking the drug Paxlovid. He felt fine earlier in the day, but then another test showed he had contracted the coronavirus again.
Reporters covering Biden’s trip to Las Vegas said he walked slowly and carefully up the steps to the plane.
Many leading politicians from the US Democratic Party and supporters of this party are calling on Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential elections. In their opinion, the condition of the 81-year-old veteran of American politics will not allow him to successfully fight Donald Trump and, in case of victory, to work effectively for another four years. Biden has so far refused to withdraw his candidacy in the November elections.
It was recently reported that Joe Biden’s son was brought to trial in the United States.
