Biden to self-isolate after contracting COVID
Joe Biden has been forced to pull out of a campaign speech after contracting COVID.
The US president was due to deliver an address to UnidosUS - the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organisation - in Las Vegas later today.
Mr Biden is experiencing mild symptoms, the White House said, and will return to Delaware to self-isolate.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president, who is facing mounting pressure to drop out of the presidential race over his age, will "continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time".
Mr Biden didn't appear to be wearing a mask as he boarded Air Force One from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
Asked by the press how he was feeling, the 81-year-old said: "Good. I feel good."
He then walked cautiously up the stairs to his plane.
An official said Mr Biden presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, including a runny nose and a cough.
The president is vaccinated and boosted, they added.
