This is not the first time Biden has had the coronavirus.

I'm guessing it's how he's getting shuffled out, hence they just came up with a pretext earlier https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/us/politics/biden-health-election-drop-out.html

    I'd love to be wrong, but I don't think so. If anything, I think it would be a pretense to get out of whatever he had planned for tonight or the next week, or just a distraction for something coming soon.

      I feel like they wouldn't have made the other announcement that he'd step down if a medical condition arose right before saying he's got covid if that was the case though. My expectation they want to clear the way for a new nominee at the convention that's just a few weeks a way now. We'll see soon I guess.
