First lady's COVID diagnosis revives pandemic politics and concerns over Biden's age

First lady Jill Biden's COVID-19 diagnosis is bringing renewed attention to President Joe Biden's age and the pandemic-era policies he at one time championed ahead of next year's election.

Although the first lady's COVID-19 case is mild, her diagnosis has cast a cloud of uncertainty over the health of 80-year-old Joe Biden, who spent part of the weekend with her at Rehoboth Beach.

"The impact of COVID will depend on severity," he said."At current levels, it is not a major political issue, but a surge, such as we saw in early 2021, could present big political problems." Regardless, Republicans amplified Biden's decision to heed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advice and resume wearing a mask inside Tuesday during a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House, though he removed his face covering for his remarks and did not put it back on to award the medal.
