Biden reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday.  However, according to Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the presidential physician, the Democrat president is expected to make a full recovery.

The announcement comes amid a rising number of calls from Democrat politicians for Biden to drop his 2024 election bid, as well as conflicting rumors from insiders and White House aides close to the president, who wished to stay anonymous, that have reached out to the press saying that he plans on stepping down as the 2024 nominee.

Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) continues to support Biden. Jeffries has maintained that he has faith the 81-year-old president can defeat Donald Trump.

“President Biden, as I’ve said repeatedly is our nominee,” Jeffries said. “He has a tremendous track record of success. He is one of the most accomplished American presidents in our history and he has the vision, I believe the ability, the capacity, and the track record to make a case to the American people that will result in us being successful in November.”
