US President and presidential candidate Joe Biden was diagnosed with coronavirus immediately after he announced that he might withdraw from the race due to illness. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" reports news agency citing US media.
“If I had any medical prerequisites, if some doctor told me: you have a problem…”
– he said when asked what might force him to abandon his bid for the presidency.
A few hours later, CNN reported that the vaccinated and boosted Biden had health problems. And this problem is the coronavirus.
He tested positive for the virus, and Biden’s campaign claims that he has mild upper respiratory symptoms, including a runny nose and unproductive cough with general malaise.
The candidate has already taken medication, but according to the protocol, he is expected to work remotely in the near future, including via video calls.
This happened against the backdrop of very active talk that Biden is not ready for another presidency because of his health, especially his mental health. They intensified after Biden’s debate with Trump, where the current president looked very unfortunate in this context.
“Hours before the White House announced Biden’s Covid-19 diagnosis, California Representative Adam Schiff, a Senate candidate and former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, became the highest-profile elected Democrat to publicly call on the president to drop out of the race,”
– cNN writes.
CNN also reported that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told Biden in a recent conversation that polls showed he could not beat Donald Trump.
Thus, within one day, Biden named the condition under which he could leave the race, and this condition was almost fulfilled.
