LAS VEGAS — US President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid with mild symptoms Wednesday, shortly after conceding he would consider dropping his reelection bid if doctors diagnosed him with a serious medical condition.
The 81-year-old Democrat gave reporters the thumbs up and said 'I feel good' as he cut short a trip to Las Vegas and flew to his beach home in Delaware to go into isolation, which will take him off the campaign trail for days. Biden thanked well-wishers on X, adding that 'I will be isolating as I recover, and during this time I will continue to work to get the job done for the American people.
'I think he's strong and he's going to recover soon,' Anne Vilagut told AFP.But Biden's illness comes as concerns over the fitness of the oldest US president in US history reach fever pitch.Asked what could make him rethink his presidential bid, Biden told the Black media outlet BET in an interview taped Tuesday in Las Vegas: 'If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if the doctors came and said 'you've got this problem, that problem.
