President Joe Biden posted a disturbing message on X about being “sick” just an hour after testing positive for Covid-19.
Biden, 81, took the coronavirus test after experiencing mild symptoms including a runny nose and a cough during his campaign trail in Las Vegas.
The White House physician confirmed the president was feeling “general malaise” adding that he was prescribed Paxlovid and received a first dose Wednesday afternoon.
A maskless Biden carefully boarded Air Force One using the shorter stairs and headed back home to Delaware.
He again looked frail as he walked off the plane, taking several pauses, upon arriving at his destination on his way to Rehoboth.
Earlier this week, Biden said in an interview that he would only drop out of the presidential race if a serious medical reason forced him to.
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” he told BET News.
