Former vice president Joe Biden and his campaign have since ramped up testing for COVID-19 upon returning to the campaign trail and even more so after the news of Donald Trump contracting the disease last week. Biden tested negative again for the third time on Sunday.
The Biden campaign announced that the Democratic presidential nominee tested negative again for coronavirus on Sunday, making it the third time since Friday. Biden tested negative twice on Friday, a little after Trump and first lady Melania Trump were revealed to test positive for COVID-19.
Biden campaign advisor Symone Sanders appeared on CNN’s State of the Union, stating that they are not concerned about continuing events after Trump’s diagnosis as they had been adhering to the safety guidelines from the very beginning. “What I want to communicate is that we are not concerned because we are being safe,” said Sanders.
Following Trump’s diagnosis of COVID-19, the Biden campaign has halted negative advertising but is still on the campaign trail. As Trump and Biden shared the stage in the debate last week, Sanders revealed that neither the Trump campaign nor the White House reached out to them to inform them of possible exposure. However, Sanders noted that Biden was not exposed and was always more than six feet away from Trump during the debate.
When host Jake Tapper asked for clarification on the regular testing done on the Bidens, Sanders responded that they are tested before they travel. Sanders also noted that the former vice president will show up at the second debate and that they hope Trump will be medically cleared to debate Biden in person.
Other countries are also keeping an eye on the US elections, in part, to prepare for a potential Biden administration should the former vice president win and defeat Trump in November. Former UK ambassador to the US Lord Kim Darroch shared that a Biden administration may not give UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson a warm welcome nor prioritize any post-Brexit deals.
“I hesitate to say this, but there will be some Obama people in a Biden administration, and they remember some of the things that the current Prime Minister said about Obama whether as a newspaper columnist or whether it was Mayor of London,” said Darroch, who left his post last year. “I promise you there is still some resentment and unhappiness about that.”
