KSNV-TV reported last Wednesday that a Las Vegas hospital was put on standby to treat Joe Biden for a medical issue. Biden cut short a campaign trip to Nevada after reportedly being diagnosed with COVID and returned to Delaware, without going to the hospital, where he has not been seen since a pool camera caught him Wednesday night being unable to get in a car without help from the Secret Service. A pool reporter reported Air Force One flew back so fast "the plane shook."

Biden withdrew from the presidential race on Sunday via a post on X Twitter. Biden called into a meeting Kamala Harris was having at his former campaign headquarters, now hers, in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday. It was the first time Biden had been heard since Wednesday, but still not seen by the public.
