U.S. President Joe Biden Tests Positive For COVID-19 While Campaigning In Las Vegas

On the third day of the Republican National Convention, JD Vance accepted his nomination as Donald Trump's running mate and addressed the convention. The 39-year-old, elected to the U.S. Senate less than two years ago, is now tasked with building Trump’s populist instincts into a coherent policy agenda. Vance, who has opposed military aid for Ukraine and defended Trump’s attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, emphasized his commitment to forgotten communities across the nation, promising to be a vice president who remembers his roots. His wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, supported him, highlighting his dedication to safety, opportunity, and the American dream. The convention saw enthusiastic support for Trump, who will formally accept his nomination on the final day. The event included the debut of a film about Trump’s campaign, "Trump’s Rescue Mission: Saving America." Meanwhile, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19, canceling campaign engagements and facing increased pressure from fellow Democrats to step down amidst ongoing challenges.
