Las Vegas: Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 in Las Vegas and will return to his Delaware residence where he may self-isolate, the White House said. The 81-year-old, vaccinated and given a booster shot, has tested positive for the virus and is experiencing just mild symptoms that prompted him to cancel an address. He felt “fine” to board Air Force One, but ascended with caution – holding on tight. His diagnosis also comes at a potentially pivotal moment politically as he fights tough races in battleground states for his job against opponents like Donald Trump.
Mr. Biden had been scheduled to convalesce from the campaign trail in his Delaware beach house for an undetermined period after stumping last weekend in Las Vegas and reassuring jittery supporters. While some Democrats have urged him to pull back from re-election, Biden is set on his primary architecture and the CDC allows treatment.
