(CNN) — President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, according to the president and CEO of UnidosUS Janet Murguía.
Biden was expected to speak at the group’s conference in Las Vegas Wednesday night.
I was just on the phone with President Biden. And he shared his deep disappointment at not being able to join us this afternoon. The president has been at many events as we all know and he just tested positive for Covid
Murguía told attendees.
Biden, 81, had been scheduled to take the stage an hour and a half prior.
CNN has reached out to the Biden campaign and the White House for comment.
It seems unlikely to me that they’d use covid as the excuse considering how hard they try to pretend that the pandemic is over and that Biden defeated it
compelling counterpoint, but after the biden tweet of “I’m sick… of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election. [donation link] Show your support with a contribution.” it seems more like a stunt
