U.S. President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 while on a campaign trip to Las Vegas, the White House announced on Wednesday. The 81-year-old Democrat is experiencing mild symptoms.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed the positive test result, indicating that Biden is fully vaccinated and has received booster shots.
The diagnosis has led to Biden's cancellation of a scheduled speaking engagement at a UnidosUS event, a prominent Latino civil rights organization.
