This explains the debate, it was COVID! That's why his voice was strange, people were saying he seemed like he was sick.
So the 81 year old president has been lying about COVID since the debate?
Or are you saying the presidential doctor Biden picked is this incompetent they just ran a COVID test?
I mean. He did an interview right after the debate, he talked about an illness but gave like three conflicting answers, and none of them mentioned COVID.
I'm saying it is more likely they knew he had COVID but thought cancelling / delaying would be a bad political move, and now are announcing it because it might achieve the opposite, concern and understanding.
This also might be a prelude to him stepping down in favor of another candidate or Harris.
So I think it's more likely it was known, and this is a calculated release of information.
You remember four years ago when that's what trump did at a debate and we all agreed it was a shitty thing only an asshole would do....
And now you're acting like Biden doing the same makes him "smart"?
They're not mutually exclusive.
This HAS to be a troll
He shouldn't test positive by now if he has it during the debate. Unless he was taking paxlovid and this is the typical rebound. I don't know.
