President Joe Biden was diagnosed today with Covid, his third bout with the disease, and immediately flew to his beach home in Rehoboth, Delaware, to rest and recuperate. He had to cancel a campaign appearance in Nevada as a result. This comes amidst increasing reports that he is losing support among top Democrats. Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), became the latest high-profile Member of Congress to call for Biden to bow out of the race.
In a statement reported by Associated Press, Schiff said today that “while the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch, and in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.”
