Foreign. Heavy Democratic politicians are now joining those demanding that Joe Biden vacate his seat as the Democratic presidential candidate.

On Tuesday, Joe Biden, 81, said in an interview that he might consider dropping out of the presidential election should a “medical condition” arise.

On Wednesday, it was announced that the American president had been affected by covid-19. According to the White House, he will isolate himself for a time, and then continue with his duties. The symptoms are said to be mild.

– I’m fine, shouted Joe Biden and gave a thumbs up to reporters when he was about to board the presidential plane in Las Vegas for the trip home.

At the same time, the number of Democratic congressmen demanding that Biden step aside continues to grow. Adam Schiff is the latest in the line.

“Joe Biden has been one of the most significant presidents in our nation’s history, and his lifelong service as senator, vice president and now as president has made our country better,” Schiff said in a statement.
