BREAKING: Joe Biden Tests Positive For Covid

President Joe Biden’s upcoming appearance at the UnidosUS conference in Las Vegas Wednesday night was thrown into uncertainty today.

Janet Murguía, the president and CEO of UnidosUS, revealed that Joe Biden, 81, has tested positive for Covid-19.

In a BET interview recorded on Tuesday, Biden, addressed the conditions under which he would reconsider running for office. When questioned about what could prompt such a decision, he stated, “If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” according to an excerpt released on Wednesday.

During an ABC News interview this month, Biden also said that he would only consider withdrawing from the race if the “Lord almighty” instructed him to do so.

As the incumbent faces another challenge, this isn’t the first, or second time, he’s had the virus. Biden first tested positive for COVID-19 in July, 2022. His symptoms were reported as very mild, attributed in part to his vaccination and booster status. He had received two booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by that time. The White House physician said that Biden’s symptoms included a runny nose, fatigue, and an occasional dry cough. During this time, he was treated with Paxlovid, an antiviral drug designed to reduce the severity of the disease.

Despite his diagnosis, Biden continued to work from the White House residence. He isolated from others, and his engagements were either postponed or conducted virtually.

Shortly after testing negative and resuming his public schedule, Biden tested positive again in a phenomenon known as “COVID-19 rebound,” commonly associated with Paxlovid treatment. This rebound case was detected on July 30, 2022. His symptoms during this rebound were also mild, and he re-entered isolation, continuing to work remotely without requiring further treatment. He tested negative several days later and resumed his normal schedule.

Nearly a year later, on July 30, 2023, Biden tested positive for COVID-19 once again. His symptoms again were reported as mild. Following this second diagnosis, the White House confirmed that Biden would isolate in accordance with CDC guidelines but would continue carrying out all his duties remotely. He did not receive antiviral treatments that time.

The news comes as there is deepening anxiety about chances of reelection. Even those previously optimistic about facing former President Trump have been uneasy since the debate. After enduring a strenuous lead-up to the 2024 election, what was once concern is now serious apprehension.

Only a few months out from the election, the situation looks increasingly challenging: Trump is leading in key battleground states and has outpaced Biden significantly in fundraising as of April, hinting at a tougher road ahead for the Democrats.

Of the last eight presidents who sought reelection, five were behind in the polls like Biden is at this stage of the campaign. Among them, four ultimately lost: Donald Trump in 2020, George H.W. Bush in 1992, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and Gerald Ford in 1976. Only George W. Bush, who was trailing in 2004, managed to secure a victory according to CNN.
