​​President-elect Joe Biden blamed his raspy voice and bouts of coughing during his post-electoral vote speech on a “bit of a cold” — after it sparked concern among viewers.

The former vice president addressed the nation after electors in the 50 states and the District of Columbia confirmed that he had won 306 electoral votes to President Trump’s 232 — but his voice sounded hoarse at times and he repeatedly paused to cough or clear his throat.

“Biden keeps coughing and clearing his throat. Is he ok?,” one viewer asked on Twitter, echoing the concern of many.

Others were worried the president-elect might need another COVID-19 test.

He’s old enough and in poor enough health that he’s very high risk to catch COVID.

That would leave us Harris.

Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.

How could he get a cold if he’s doing the right thing and following the science?

Worse than Jezebel by a smidge. Hope the ending is the same.

Why anyone would think a seventy-eight-year-old man who is obviously sinking into senility and has had two aneurisms is fit for the most important and difficult office in the world is beyond me. He already has just broken his foot (probably as a result of osteoporosis) and now he has some kind of respiratory infection, which, at his age, can quickly lead to pneumonia.

The people who voted for him should have their heads examined.

Exactly. Over 145 million citizens voted for him in the past election. He must prevail!

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?

Not quite sure if a program can have it head examined. I kinda doubt it, though.

LOL! That's a good reference.
Unfortunately she was in charge for 6 long years - and caused a lot of damage. Hopefully we never get to that point, and don't allow the illegal usurpers to be seated.
But with the gutless cadre of Republicans (or maybe not gutless, but willing accomplices) this will be a tough row to hoe. But, with God's overruling Hand, President Trump and his army of deplorables can make it happen. With God, all things are possible, and without Him, nothing good can happen.
