(CNN) — President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, according to the president and CEO of UnidosUS Janet Murguía.
Biden was expected to speak at the group’s conference in Las Vegas Wednesday night.
I was just on the phone with President Biden. And he shared his deep disappointment at not being able to join us this afternoon. The president has been at many events as we all know and he just tested positive for Covid
Murguía told attendees.
Biden, 81, had been scheduled to take the stage an hour and a half prior.
CNN has reached out to the Biden campaign and the White House for comment.
He was already an hour late to his big boy press conference. The time and effort required to induce lucidity is getting longer and longer
and they’ve probably got a whole team coming up with excuses like his grandmother just passed away or the parliamentarian said he can’t come out on stage today
