Biden Tests Positive for COVID-19 and Cancels Event with Latinos
US President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a campaign event in Las Vegas. Despite being vaccinated and boosted, Biden is experiencing mild symptoms and will self-isolate in Delaware while continuing his duties.
The President's physician has prescribed the antiviral medication Paxlovid. As a result of his diagnosis, Biden has cancelled a speaking engagement at the annual UnidosUS conference, which was organized by a Latino organization.
This comes at a crucial time as Biden's support among Latino and African American voters has seen a 20% loss, with Donald Trump gaining ground. Biden had planned to announce a new policy that would benefit undocumented spouses and children of US citizens, allowing them to start the regularization process.
Nevada, a swing state with a significant Latino population, is where Biden tested positive. Despite this setback, the Biden administration has been successful in creating 15 million jobs.
Biden's diagnosis raises concerns about his ability to campaign for the upcoming November election and some Democratic lawmakers are calling for him to withdraw from the race due to concerns about his age and health.
