Just when things couldn’t get any more chaotic for the Democrats, President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19. Now, let’s break this down. Are we really supposed to believe that this is just bad luck, or could it be something more sinister? Is he just tired and looking for a convenient way out? With the growing calls from his own party to delay the virtual nomination vote, this COVID diagnosis might be the spark that ignites a domino effect leading to Biden stepping down. The timing, my friends, is highly suspect. Let’s dive into the facts and see what’s really going on.
Biden’s COVID Diagnosis: Truth or Convenient Excuse?
On Wednesday, the White House confirmed that President Biden has tested positive for COVID-19. Janet Murguia, president of UnidosUS, broke the news at an event in Las Vegas where Biden was supposed to speak. Biden was expected to deliver remarks but was mysteriously delayed for an hour and a half before the announcement was made.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Biden tested positive after his first event in Las Vegas. She mentioned he is experiencing mild symptoms, is vaccinated, boosted, and will self-isolate in Delaware. She assured us that he would continue carrying out his duties fully while in isolation.
But let’s think about this for a moment. Biden has kept a full schedule in Nevada this week despite mounting concerns about his health and capabilities. This sudden positive test after a disastrous debate performance in late June seems more than a little convenient. He last tested positive for COVID in 2022. Are we seeing a pattern here, folks?
Growing Calls to Delay Biden’s Nomination
As if the COVID diagnosis wasn’t enough, there’s a growing faction of House Democrats convinced that Biden is too politically damaged to beat Donald Trump in November. These Democrats are calling on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to delay the virtual nomination vote. This sets up an extraordinary intraparty clash against Biden’s allies, who are quietly pushing to accelerate the president’s formal nomination.
Democrats have been planning for weeks to conclude Biden’s nomination process before August 7, well before the Chicago convention next month. But Rep. Jared Huffman, a progressive Democrat from California, told CNN that there’s a “growing number of members” concerned about the virtual roll call vote, calling it a “terrible idea” and a “dumb thing.”
Huffman stated, “If the election were held today, he would get crushed. We have got to do something about it.” There’s even a draft letter circulating among House Democrats calling on the party to slow down the process. This is a clear sign of the party’s deep worries about Biden remaining at the top of their ticket.
Democrats’ Desperate Push for an Early Nomination
While some Democrats want to slow things down, Biden’s allies are pushing to kick off the virtual roll call process as quickly as possible. Six Democratic officials familiar with the discussions revealed that two key Democratic committees are set to gather this Friday and Sunday to discuss the exact timeline for delegates across the country to start casting their votes. The earliest voting could begin would be after the second meeting on Sunday.
If voting were to begin Sunday or soon thereafter, that would mark an aggressive timeline, and it’s already drawing fresh scrutiny from other Democrats. They want Biden to acknowledge his challenges and step aside. One House Democrat said, “The disbelief that they’d expedite the nomination is as widespread as the recognition the DNC is leading Democrats into a house fire with water bottles.”
The DNC virtual roll call process was initially put in place to sidestep a ballot issue in Ohio. Lawmakers in Ohio have since resolved the issue, but the DNC is pushing forward with the virtual roll call anyway. For Democrats afraid that Biden will lose to Trump and take the Democratic ticket down with him, time is running out to make their case to the president, his family, and his advisers.
Intraparty Fight: Democrats Divided
The fiery discussions have opened a potentially messy and unseemly collision among different factions of the Democratic Party. This is happening while Republicans are rallying around their new ticket at the GOP convention in Milwaukee.
Former DNC chairs Donna Brazile, Howard Dean, and Terry McAuliffe have weighed in to back the early nomination process. They sent a letter to DNC members stating that a virtual process is necessary to ensure that the Democratic nominees for President and Vice President appear on the ballot in every state without legal challenge.
However, Brazile, Dean, and McAuliffe said that the virtual roll call “need not be immediate” but should finish before August 7 to avoid potential legal issues related to Biden’s ballot access in Ohio.
Final Thoughts
So, what’s really going on here? Biden’s sudden COVID diagnosis, the growing calls from his own party to delay his nomination, and the push for an early virtual roll call all point to one thing: chaos within the Democratic Party. Are they finally realizing that Biden might not be the best candidate to face Trump in November? Or is this just another convenient excuse to hide Biden’s failing health and capabilities?
It’s clear that the Democratic Party is in disarray, and Biden’s allies are desperate to keep him on top of the ticket. But with more and more Democrats speaking out against the virtual roll call and calling for a delay, it seems like the cracks are starting to show. Will Biden step down? Only time will tell.

Stay tuned, folks. Things are about to get interesting.
C’mon man! nothing to worry about, with 19 more Wuhan Red Death vaccine shots.
It is unlikely that any other candidate within the Democratic Party can mount a campaign this late in the game. Kamala Harris is handicapped by a perception that she is intellectually unqualified. No Democratic Governor has the national presence or the moderate to conservative track record necessary to be viable. Too many Democratic politicians who do have a national presence have been so partisan as to make each untenable. The Democratic Party has seriously hurt itself under Biden and the Squad by demeaning those who hold opposing views. Rarely in American history have we seen a party so decisively destroy themselves.
What “failing capabilities”? How can slo joe fail at something he never had? I’m not buying the covid excuse, biden tested positive for stupid.
You cannot believe anything Biden or any democrap says.
I am glad I did not take all those shots like joey.
Why Now?

Dont trust the Dems
He’s painted himself into a “safe and effective” corner.
Covid isn’t even real, and its symptoms are caused by a man-made, patented, bio-weapon pathogen! The PCR test is documented to be worthless and manipulated. Not one person has died OF covid because none of the symptoms are deadly. People have died from pre-existing conditions, improper treatment, and the fraud vaccine. ALL of the testing facilities are part of this covid scam! Bird flu is another scam.
Well, it does provide an excuse for him to keep a low profile for a few days while he tries to regroup. Perhaps he can continue his campaign from his basement.
