President Joe Biden won’t have any issue keeping his COVID-19 infection to himself, Jimmy Fallon joked on Thursday.
“Luckily, he can’t spread it because Democrats have been distancing themselves from him since the debate,” the comedian quipped on “The Tonight Show.”
“Yep, Biden had fatigue, a cough and brain fog. Then he got COVID,” Fallon added. “Thankfully, Biden is expected to make a full recovery, and his doctor said that he’ll be back to 60% in no time.”
Democrats have steadily increased pressure on Biden to drop out of the presidential race since his poor performance in the June 27 debate against Donald Trump.
Biden tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week. The White House said he was experiencing “mild symptoms” and would self-isolate at his home in Delaware, where he would “continue to carry out all of his duties fully.”
