Biden contracted COVID-19 as soon as he let go or was willing to consider dropping out due to health issues.

Biden was again asked in a BET interview on Tuesday whether he was determined to continue running. He said he would reassess his candidacy if his health changed, Biden said, "If I have some health conditions, if someone, if the doctor comes up to me and says you have this problem and that problem." And just hours after the interview was released, the White House announced that Biden had canceled a speech in Las Vegas to a major Latino civil rights group after testing positive for the novel coronavirus. But Biden's troubles are not over yet. On Wednesday, Representative Adam Schiff of California, who is running for the Senate, also called on Biden to keep the Torch Relay. The latest US media reports that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said during a meeting with Biden on Saturday that it would be better for the country if Biden ended his re-election campaign.
