US President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House confirmed on Wednesday evening after CNN and other media outlets reported the diagnosis.

Word of the diagnosis came approximately an hour and a half before Biden was expected to speak at the UnidosUS conference in Las Vegas.

“I was just on the phone with President Biden. And he shared his deep disappointment at not being able to join us this afternoon. The President has been at many events as we all know and he just tested positive for COVID,” Janet Murguía, president and CEO of UnidosUS, told attendees.

The President’s doctor said Biden has received his first dose of Paxlovid, and will be self-isolating at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

“The President presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorrhea (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general malaise,” a note from Biden’s doctor provided by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

“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,” added the doctor.

It’s all just distraction so when they slip Newsom in in October there will be no time to react - and all the FJB retards will be so busy celebrating they won’t notice.

That would blow up in their face since they forced masks and airplanes much longer than anywhere else

Wouldn’t be surprised if Biden was deliberately infected by someone high in Democrat circles who wants him out before the convention.

They are looking for the Sympathy vote I have no doubt, but with Harris in the top slot, not sure where Biden is going to be at that point. It will be a win one for the gipper, or wellstone memorial.

He looked more feeble than ever struggling to get up those steps. That SS man was ready to either catch him or step aside and let him tumble down.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Five minutes after news broke that President Biden has been diagnosed with COVID, Democrat party leaders were forced to make the difficult decision to place Biden on hospice care.

“We just want Joe to be comfortable with the short time he has left,” explained Senator Chuck Schumer. “We spent a long, hard thirty seconds deliberating over what to do, and we all agreed this is for the best.”

President Biden reportedly resisted the idea of being placed on hospice, but Democrat leaders assured the doctors that he was demented and didn’t know what he was saying. “It’s what the real Joe would have wanted. Hahaha!” said Kamala Harris. “Poor guy, saying ‘I’m not ready to die!’. Haha! He’s lost his mind. At last, he can be at peace.”

At publishing time, Hillary Clinton was reportedly spotted asking the hospice caretakers if they needed any help moving things along.
