Once again, Joe Biden has COVID-19.
for the third time in two years, President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19, the White House said. The president was in Las Vegas—attempting to convince voters, donors, and his fellow lawmakers that he is still the candidate best poised to defeat former President Donald Trump in November—when he fell ill with a runny nose and cough, according to a White House statement. He’s already taking the antiviral Paxlovid and will isolate at his home in Delaware.
Since Biden’s first two COVID bouts—an initial case and a rebound shortly thereafter in 2022—much has changed for the president, and for the trajectory of the pandemic. Biden’s cognitive abilities have come under more intense scrutiny, especially following a debate with Trump last month in which the president demonstrated difficulty completing sentences and holding on to a train of thought.
