President Joe Biden tests positive for COVID-19, cancels speaking engagement in Las Vegas.
President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to cancel a speaking engagement at the nation's largest Latino organization in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
The positive test was announced by UnidosUS President and CEO Janet Murguia, who said she had just gotten off the phone with Biden. The president expressed regret for missing the event and promised to make it up in the future.
Biden reportedly had upper respiratory symptoms, including a runny nose and non-productive cough, as well as general malaise, but no fever. He received his first dose of Paxlovid, an antiviral drug that can ease symptoms of the disease.
This comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Nevada is detecting "very high" COVID levels in wastewater. Biden also had COVID in 2022.
The president's positive test also comes at a time when he is under scrutiny for his age and health. Some attendees at the event expressed disappointment at not being able to see Biden, while others were grateful that he had planned to visit at all.
Biden was in Las Vegas to speak with organizations representing Blacks and Latinos, communities that have tended to back Democrats. The significance of his visit was evident by the sheer number of people in attendance, with a line out the door hours prior to the scheduled luncheon.
Both political parties are attempting to lock down the crucial Latino vote, one of the topics discussed at the "Our Time is Now!" convention. Biden's positive test also comes at a time when the president is under scrutiny for his age and health.
Biden's positive test is a reminder of the ongoing pandemic and the importance of taking precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. It is unclear how this will impact his campaign for re-election in November.
