President Joe Biden was seen in public for the first time in six days on Tuesday as he left isolation in Delaware to return to the White House.
The 81-year-old has not showed his face since his bombshell announcement he was dropping out of the race on Sunday and sparked wild conspiracy theories with his absence.
The last time he made an appearance was last Wednesday – when he slowly exited Air Force One in Dover to go into isolation after being diagnosed with COVID. Only his voice was heard on a call into his old campaign office on Monday.
On Tuesday he emerged from his SUV with a mask, turned to the press and said he is ‘well’ and then slowly headed to the stairs of Air Force One to make the trip back to Washington D.C. for the first time since ending his 2024 bid.
Before Biden was seen in public, his physician announced the president has recovered from COVID.
‘The President’s symptoms have resolved. Over the course of his infection, he never manifested a fever, and his vital signs remained normal, to include pulse oximetry. His lungs remained clear. BINAX rapid antigen testing is negative,’ Dr. Kevin O’Connor said.
