FRAIL ON TV
Biden told reporters on Wednesday that he was “doing well.”
His Covid diagnosis however came at the worst possible time for his campaign, forcing him to cut short a trip to Las Vegas and isolate at his holiday home in Rehoboth, Delaware.
The split-screen with Donald Trump could not have been more stark, with Trump set to formally accept the Republican nomination in Milwaukee.
US networks showed images of frail-looking Biden gingerly descending the steps of Air Force One in Delaware, in a week when Trump is lauded by supporters each night at a packed party convention.
Former president Trump, who at 78 is just three years younger than Biden, is riding a wave of support from his party after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday that left him with a bandaged ear.
