(CNN) — President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, according to the president and CEO of UnidosUS Janet Murguía.
Biden was expected to speak at the group’s conference in Las Vegas Wednesday night.
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
Murguía told attendees.
Biden, 81, had been scheduled to take the stage an hour and a half prior.
CNN has reached out to the Biden campaign and the White House for comment.
he doesn’t have covid, you don’t make people wait 90 minutes for that announcement. they’re making shit up because they tried to get him coherent for over an hour and nothing was working.
biden’s doctor giving him hundreds of covid tests until one of them gives a false positive so he can diagnose without losing their license
exactly, hope he does have it and it kills him but sounds sus so far
Not like Biden would remember getting the last one 15 minutes before.
Anyway, would be funny if that gave him a sinus infection that was the beginning of the end
He was already an hour late to his big boy press conference. The time and effort required to induce lucidity is getting longer and longer
and they’ve probably got a whole team coming up with excuses like his grandmother just passed away or the parliamentarian said he can’t come out on stage today
It seems unlikely to me that they’d use covid as the excuse considering how hard they try to pretend that the pandemic is over and that Biden defeated it
compelling counterpoint, but after the biden tweet of “I’m sick… of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election. [donation link] Show your support with a contribution.” it seems more like a stunt
he’s fucking with everyone to fundraise:
That’s someone on his PR team. Biden definitely is not doing his own Tweets.
Imagine how hilarious it would be if Biden actually tried to tweet
