Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19 and is suffering mild symptoms, the White House has said.
Karine Jean-Pierre, his press secretary, said the US president is vaccinated and boosted but has tested positive for Covid twice before.
Mr Biden, 81, was seen earlier yesterday visiting supporters in Las Vegas and speaking at an event but cancelled a campaign speech later in the night. The illness comes as he faces increasing pressure to step aside because of his age. END
