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.


This is a developing story and will be updated.

Poochie I mean Joe Biden has returned to his home planet.

I KNEW his American birth certificate was fake!

 

[CoolSixtyNiner]

OK let's see. They tried to kill Trump using a patsy. Now Biden suddenly gets the most "dangerous" respiratory illness one can ever get ever.

I think we all know what time it is.

Hilldawg sisters? It's time.

Biden definitely is going to die from this right? Only way to move the needle. Get some sympathy for the geezer and run who ever. Their attempt on Trump failed, time for the contingencies.

 

[Alligator Alcatraz]

I still haven't gotten covid once and I worked healthcare and retail the past four years. Just wash your hands and don't touch your face.

 

[TerrifyingPterodactyl]

Ahh the DNC must be getting ready to pull out the Intubation pillows to help sleepy Joe.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Do you think they are gonna force a resignation to get kamala in?

I think they are setting the stage to announce their problem and the anchor upon their party has departed this mortal coil. Remember class it's natural causes if we shout COVID first.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

I hope he doesn't die. Among other reasons, 6 months is a lot of time for Kamala Harris to enact some stupid nonsense.

Cackling Kamala will become the first and worst female President. But at least she will have denied Hillary that honor.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

This might be the least mysterious conspiracy theory ever if Joe actually dies.

Either that or they want to drum up sympathy and have a viable narrative for his visibly-poor health when he survives.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

they'll find him with 4 gunshot wounds to the back of the head due to covid.

 

[Corpun]

I pray he doesn't shuffle this mortal coil. Such a healthy and vibrant man such as him cannot pass away in these trying times. Also so we don't get cackling Kamala even for a few months.

It’s funnier if Joe goes.

 

[Professor G. Raff]

Someone really wants to kill some presidents. Odd that at least in theory either dying benefits a particular entrenched power structure and the chance has occurred twice in a week, so it must just be a coincidence.

 

[Snekposter]

AF1 does have a cargo elevator. Maybe we’ll see Kamala wheeling around Joe’s rotting corpse for the next four years. Remember. He’s just sleepy!

FDR's plane had a wheelchair lift in the belly.

I’m just glad the glowniggers stopped after dear Leader closed the gates. Now we all get to sit back and laugh with friends at the clown show of 2024.

I wish I wasn’t banned from politics
I want to comment on how sick it is Trump is walking out to It’s A Man’s World

 

[WelperHelper99]

TRUMP Baby! Walking on to some jazz!

TRUMP Baby! Walking on to some jazz!

I dislike Trump as a politician but I love Trump as a New Yorker. He has cultured tastes I relate to. James Brown is very cool.

I really hope this covid shit turns out to be fake and gay.... For the sake of humanity now.

 

[Miller]

Biden is just getting kicked in every way possible and it's actually kinda sad.

You almost have to respect the old man for sticking at it to the end...

He is a career politician, he's getting what he fucking deserves.

How'd you get banned from the Politics thread?

How'd you get banned from the Politics thread?

I was being ridiculous.

 

[TETRABAX]

They are just going to kill him, aren't they? They haven't replaced Kamala as the presumptive VP for 2024 yet so that they can shove someone else in the spotlight. Either that or they know whoever goes into 2024 for the Dems is going to get politically dead ended so they are setting her up for failure to get her out of the way for 2028
