Biden under new pressure from top Democrats as Covid halts campaign | BBC News

President Joe Biden faces new questions over his candidacy in the November election - with his campaign events currently on pause due to a Covid-19 infection. Announcing his Covid infection on Wednesday, Biden's press secretary said the 81-year-old was facing mild symptoms. Before contacting Covid, Biden suggested only a serious medical condition and a suggestion from doctors to consider his health would make him pull out of the race. Top two Democrats in the US Congress, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are both reported to have met him individually to express concerns over his bid for the White House.
