Very surprising this was announced by UNIDOS before the White House issued a statement or informed the traveling press pool in Las Vegas.

“Earlier today following his first event in Las Vegas, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time.” - White House press secretary

@samhainnight @w7voa I wonder how many people Biden has exposed in recent days to Covid? He doesn't wear a mask and they did initial confirmation via what has been described as a home test (typically an LFT) and are still awaiting PCR testing. Unless they're using a home molecular test, LFTs do not typically test positive at start of symptoms, which means that Biden has likely been spreading Covid for days. And, by heading to Delaware, rather than isolating in place, he's exposing more people.

“I tested positive for COVID-19 this afternoon, but I am feeling good and thank everyone for the well wishes,” says President Biden in a social media post. “I will be isolating as I recover, but during this time I will continue to work to get the job done for the American people.”
