Breaking: Video Shows COVID Stricken Joe Biden Struggling to Get in Car, Needing Push From Secret Service Agent | The Gateway Pundit
Stunning video shows 81-year-old Joe Biden, diagnosed with COVID earlier in the day forcing him to cut short a trip in Nevada, struggled to get in the car late Wednesday night after deplaning from Air Force One in Delaware and needed help from a Secret Service agent who appeared to push Biden’s rear end into the car and across the seat. Biden had returned to his Rehoboth Beach home to quarantine and recuperate. Earlier, Biden had struggled climbing the steps to Air Force One when leaving Nevada.
Video posted by NBC News shows Biden gingerly walking down the short stairs of Air Force One, pausing several times as he navigated the fourteen steps. When asked if he has any response to Chuck Schumer (reportedly telling Biden he should withdraw from the presidential race), Biden ignored the question, said he’s “doing well” while raising a weak two thumbs up and flashing a wan smile. NBC cut off the video as Biden started to try to get into the Beast.

Pool video posted by Jacob Gardenswartz with Scripps News shows Biden struggling to get in the Beast, weakly bouncing several times until a Secret Service agent appears to give him a push in the rear to get him in and across the seat. The agent then bends over like he is straightening out Biden’s legs. (And, no, Biden is not wearing a mask, nor did he put one on in the car during the video.)

Earlier Wednesday, CNN commentator Van Jones observed, ” “A bullet couldn’t stop Trump. A virus just stopped Biden… The Democrats are coming apart. The Republicans are coming together.”

Earlier Wednesday, an interview clip of Biden went viral of him saying he might drop out of the presidential race if he was diagnosed with a “medical condition.”
ITS OVER!
Biden and the Dems are laying the groundwork to swap candidates.
Biden admits that he made a huge mistake with the debate, and would step down if a “medical condition emerged”.
It’s coming. It’s only a matter of who replaces him, and when. The transition is underway. pic.twitter.com/AP2lvwLtXW

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre issued a statement on the multi-vaxxed Biden having COVID, again. along with a statement from “the President’s Doctor”:
Earlier today following his first event in Las Vegas, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. The White House will provide regular updates on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation.
Note from the President’s Doctor:
The President presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorhea (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general mailaise. He felt okay for his first event of the day, but given that he was not feeling better, point of care testing for COVID-19 was conducted, and the results were positive for the COVID-19 virus. Given this, the President will be self-isolating in accordance with CDC guidance for symptomatic individuals. PCR confirmation testing will be pending. His symptoms remain mild, his respiratory rate is normal at 16, his temperature is normal at 97.8 and his pulse oximetry is normal at 97%. The President has received his first dose of Paxlovid. He will be self-isolating at his home in Rehoboth.
