Biden tests positive for COVID in Las Vegas, hastily returns to Delaware vacation home after showing symptoms

LAS VEGAS — President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and abruptly boarded Air Force One to return to his vacation home in Delaware to recuperate — after glad-handing while experiencing what his doctor described as respiratory symptoms and “general malaise.”

The 81-year-old president told reporters “I feel good” as he emerged — without a mask to protect others — from the presidential limo and walked up the stairs of the jet at Harry Reid International Airport.

Biden canceled a speech to a Latino advocacy group in Sin City due to his diagnosis.

UnidosUS president Janet Murguía announced the president was ill on stage as attendees began to wonder why Biden was running 90 minutes late to speak.
