Breaking: President Joe Biden Tests Positive for Covid-19 in Las Vegas, White House Says

President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid-19 while in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the White House confirmed. Despite being vaccinated and boosted, Biden is experiencing mild symptoms and will be self-isolating in Delaware while continuing to carry out his presidential duties.

According to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden tested positive after his first event in Las Vegas. His symptoms include a runny nose, nonproductive cough, and general malaise. However, he does not have a fever and his respiratory rate is normal. Biden has already started treatment with the medication Paxlovid, which is aimed at reducing the risk of severe illness or hospitalization.

The news of Biden’s positive test came after a conference leader announced that the president would not be able to attend an event in Las Vegas due to his diagnosis. Biden, 81, has been maintaining a busy schedule in Nevada this week, despite questions about his health following a lackluster debate performance in June.

This latest development raises concerns about the president’s health and reignites discussions about age and capability in the political arena. Both Biden and former President Donald Trump have contracted Covid-19 in the past, with Biden’s last positive test occurring in 2022.

As this is a developing story, updates on President Biden’s condition and recovery will be provided as they become available. Stay tuned for more information on this evolving situation.
