Did anybody have, “ And then Biden gets diagnosed with Covid”, on your predictions sheet?

I think they’re just messing with us now…

Like I said before....it's a long way to November...

I hope it won’t cause him lasting damage, and that he will get well soon.

[DougG]

this is at least the second time he’s had it. I would think the most likely cases that he misses a week or two of campaigning, which is not great.

[Steve Miller]

Good grief.

[Rontuner]

Ah, perfect excuse to bow out gracefully?

[DougG]

@Rontuner

that thought crossed my mind too. That might be wishful thinking on my part.

We can only hope…

[CHAS]

Any excuse will do. Thank you, Joe, but it is time to go.

[Mik]

Why would you bow out from a two-week illness? Makes no sense.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. He just came back from Vegas and COVID is running rampant out west.

[Rontuner]

So much of this seems to be about political hubris and saving face. Claiming a complicated reaction to an illness gives an excuse, rather than giving in to the people urging him to drop out.

[wtg]

I'm sort of where Mik is at. I'd be surprised if a bad case of COVID is tagged as the reason. But I guess anything is possible.

And at this point, it really doesn't matter what reason he gives. Everyone will know why he dropped out.
