Of course Biden has Covid 🙄

I was in Athens for my foot Dr appt and wasn’t sure where to park at this facility and as I drive around back there was a Covid testing section/wing and parking spots.

Inside Athens and .2 miles out of Athens is night and day

Didn't he just test negative for that two weeks ago?

God wanted him to survive he’s a hero! 

How involved can a president be with this? Any?

If they waited this long after the debate to use the 'rona as an excuse, well, that reaction was so delayed that I could believe it was Joe himself that came up with the plan.

So there is some reporting that amidst all the pressure being put on Biden to step down that he asked one of his advisors "can Kamala win?"

If that is true, I respect the hell out of it. That is something that should be on his mind. It would also negate all of the accusations of him being a complete self-centered egomaniac that all of the hard-line Dems have thrown at him.

He honestly didn’t know if Harris could win?

Saw on my X feed he could resign as early as this weekend

I can't say if she can win or not. Might be somebody else. But I respect the fact that Biden is concerned for her when he, if he drops out, doesn't need to care at all. Loyalty of any sort is hard to come by in DC. 

So the Democratic Party is going to pressure the sitting President to exit the race, simply because he cannot win.

They will ignore the will of their people in the name of "protecting" democracy.  What a crock.

From what I read, the will of democratic voters is for him to drop out.

That would be a very good point if he had not gotten the nomination unopposed.

Just months after he won the primaries. 

I've seen it reported that it's past the deadline for changing the ballots in several states. Is this true? If so, it would mean it has to be Biden or Harris.

Had they not covered for his obvious mental decline, that would not have happened IMO.  

And then what happens to all of the campaign money if it's not Harris?
