Biden’s Covid diagnosis comes at the worst possible time for his campaign
MSN ^ | July 16, 2024 | Eli Stokols

President Joe Biden’s Covid diagnosis on Wednesday afternoon could hardly have come at a more devastating time.

Not only did it cut short a two-day campaign swing in Nevada, but it threatens to deepen Democratic anxieties over — and resistance to — his reelection campaign, which has been teetering for nearly three weeks since his abysmal performance in his first debate with former President Donald Trump.

The news — first announced to a crowd of Hispanic activists awaiting his speech in Las Vegas and shortly thereafter confirmed by the White House — will surely deepen concerns about Biden’s age, health and stamina that have many Democrats calling for him to step aside as the party’s presidential nominee. Perhaps even more importantly, it could create a vacuum that privately skeptical Democrats, now feeling a heightened sense of urgency, may feel inclined to fill by amping up their pressure campaign.

“The timing of this could not possibly be worse,” said a Democrat briefed on internal White House discussions. “It reminds everybody how old Joe Biden is.”

Although deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty celebrated the post from his own account, other Biden allies, frustrated at the president’s struggles to get things back on track, privately grumbled that it was glib and unhelpful.

Besides ceding the stage entirely to Trump and his vice presidential nominee, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, the president being struck ill for the second time in three weeks further sharpens the contrast Trump’s campaign is focused on: the GOP nominee, days after surviving an assassination attempt and rallying supporters with chants of “Fight! Fight! Fight!,” as the picture of physical strength, as opposed to an aging, stiff-gaited, low-talking Biden, whose frailty has been the dominant story for three weeks following the debate.

Not that Biden’s supporters would agree.

Exactly. Covid is an excuse ton get this guy off the campaign trail and out of the public eye until after he has run the clock out on the nomination.

Team Biden is in desperation mode.

All those Democrats ridin' with Biden are getting worried the Biden Bus is running out of gas and they won't be riding very far.

The fact that the old geezer is so sick, the media can’t cover for him anymore isn’t bad for the country, BUT it’s awful for their attempt to hold on to power.

Today the CDC under and director emeritus of all science Anthony Fauci and emergently appointed director of the National Institite of Health and national institute of allergy and infectious disease (NIAID) announced pending martial law due to the new most serious strain of corona virus COVID - 24. Officially SARS-CoVI - 3 the “JoeVID strain”

Its symptoms said Fauci are “quite scary”. Initially I thought is was asymptomatic infection but I have found it is aerosolized and media spread. Worse yet this virus demonstrates immunological escape and you can have multiple infections with immediate symptoms in short periods of time. Even within minutes. It causes Parkinson’s like disease with additional symptoms of stuttering, freezing, rambling world, incoherent thoughts with elements of racism and the confusing the 58 genders. This explains clearly the President Biden is not neurologically impaired but was a highly visible victim of this strain. Using gain of function testing with our trusted partners in Wuhan, China, who will now be immediately funded with $10 trillion, this science is absolutely the truth. All citizens must be isolated. I am also immediately ordering the shut down of all private businesses, schools and religious institutions noting he is following the science. Anthony Fauci MD, GOD also shockingly noted “This virus appears to also transmit through television and radio medium”.

He then turned over the press conference to Jessica Rosenworcel. She stated who made the following statement:

“out of an abundance of caution and in conjunction with the CDC NIH and NIAID under the direction of the secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Bacerra, given this dangerous new spread and immediate infection all citizens will be required to isolate at home and all television, radio and internet communications are hereby immediately suspended after this broadcast”

She continued that “however communicating with the citizens are of the governments highest priority to keep you safe, Dr Fauci has followed the science and worked with dazzling brilliance and discovered within 15 minutes of discovering JoeVID we have discovered that somehow this dangerous virus is neutralized by the MSNBC frequency, therefore all televisions will broadcast only that frequency. Official information will be broadcast on this channel only and with our brave partners in congress representative Jeffries and Pelosi and senators Schumer and Sanders emergency legislation has already been deemed to have passed on a virtual zoom meeting and signed into law by our brave President Biden authorizing this emergency measure.”

“This legislation also contained a release of $100,000 to each registered democrat in the several states which had already been transferred to the bank accounts of these brave Americans using the data from all compliant citizens that the IRS has using accounts noted in certified tax returns and cross referenced with voting records in each state. We of course know who voted as democrats as our partners at Dominion voting systems”

“While these are the main points the rest of this emergency legislation adopts the science that television and radio is the main source of transmission of JoeVID. Emergency appropriation of funds will have new single frequency telescreens delivered to each citizen and residence by 9:00 PM EDT. The CIA and FBI alongside of newly armed IRS agents will enter your residence and utilizing the FBI search warrant executed at Mara Lago deadly force is authorized. We are just following the science”

“Finally there is some hope. We are making these immediate orders as we believe that this virus will evaporate in exactly 117 days. We are asking all citizens for just 117 days to stop the spread. While this health emergency ends on Election Day all ballots will be collected in drop boxes located in all residences. Your ballot will be prefilled out based on your last presidential vote so no need to break isolation”.

I conclusion my fellow citizens America has always been at war with SARCoVIA. Science bless you and Science bless America”

Biden’s Covid diagnosis comes at the worst possible most convenient time for his campaign saving face while bowing out.

Fixed it. Jill and Hunter must already have sealed their immunity and payoff deals. Bernie got three houses. Let's see what the Mao Brandon-Xi family got.

“I personally don’t think that Biden has Covid.”

Nobody does.

It used to be that the opposing candidates paused their campaigns during the other’s convention.

But, that was when the DemocRAT Party was an American Political Party.

No COVID. Joe has failed significantly, someone is arranging these public appearances in order to rehabilitate him after the debate and it is a disaster. Referring to Cheatle as “him” clearly proves he has no idea who the SS chief is, has never met with “him” (her) and he must be contained.

I can’t imagine a more desperate and panicky joke then declaring Biden has covid

The foolish and strategically weak gambit defines the Biden administration.

Worst possible time, or best possible time? I guess that depends on who you’re asking, right?

He said the day before that only a medical issue could take him off the ticket.
