President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 while campaigning in Las Vegas.
The diagnosis was announced during the UnidosUS annual conference, where Biden was scheduled to speak as part of an effort to rally Hispanic voters ahead of the November election.
The big picture: UnidosUS President and CEO Janet Murguía informed the guests of the president’s positive test result, leading to his absence from the event.
- Prior to the diagnosis, President Biden had visited the Original Lindo Michoacan restaurant in Las Vegas and was scheduled for an interview with Univision.
