LAS VEGAS (NewsNation) — President Joe Biden canceled a campaign appearance Wednesday after being diagnosed with COVID-19, according to the CEO of UnidosUS, a Latino civil rights and advocacy group Biden was slated to address. “The President presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorrhea (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general malaise,” according to White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor. “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.” The White House said Biden will return to Delaware to self-isolate and “continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time.”
President Biden tested positive for COVID, and will head back to his Delaware home to isolate.
He was set to speak at the UnidosUS gathering today before his speaking engagement got cancelled.
In an interview with BET’s Ed Gordon, Biden hinted that he could bow out if a medical condition emerges.
