Schumer Says "Best For Biden To Drop Out Of Race" As President Tests Positive For COVID

"Moments ago, ABC News reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., advised President Biden to end his reelection for the greater good of the country and the Democratic Party.

Only eight days ago, Schumer had a different opinion on Biden: "I'm with Joe." Schumer pushed for the Democratic National Convention's delay as questions soared about the president's 2024 candidacy.
According to Axios, the delay "signals that the congressional leaders sympathize with rank-and-file Democrats who want more time to address concerns about Biden's ability to defeat former President Trump."
Vice President Kamala Harris's nomination odds for the party now stand at 50, while Biden's is at 38. Just hours after President Biden mentioned in an interview that he would consider dropping out of the presidential race if diagnosed with a "medical condition," the elderly president tested positive for Covid-19 this afternoon.
Unidos US president Janet Murguía informed the audience at the organization's national conference in Vegas about Biden's diagnosis. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Biden was delivering speeches in Las Vegas when he "experienced mild symptoms." KJP said the president "will be returning to Delaware, where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time." ZH
