U.S. President Joe Biden cut short a trip to Las Vegas on Wednesday and returned home to Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19.
Biden flashed a ‘thumbs up’ to the media shortly before he boarded Air Force One.

White House announced the positive test for the 81-year-old Democrat after Biden canceled a speech.

There were groans in the conference room at the news.

The illness comes at a crucial time for Biden, who has been losing ground in battleground states against Republican Donald Trump, who is headlining a triumphant convention this week after he survived an assassination attempt on Saturday.

Trump supporters reacted skeptically to the news of U.S. President Joe Biden testing positive for COVID-19 during his visit to Las Vegas on Wednesday

The White House said Biden planned to spend a long weekend at his Delaware beach house. It was unclear how long the sickness would keep him for the campaign trail.
