I'm guessing it's how he's getting shuffled out, hence they just came up with a pretext earlier https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/us/politics/biden-health-election-drop-out.html

First Trump dodges a bullet by a couple of centimeters and then the universe smites Biden with the plague? Can you imagine how insufferable evangelicals will become if that happens?

Assuming this is true, we almost got both to die in a week.

I wonder if they'd both be dead already if Biden had been shot and Trump got COVID again

Assuming this is true

Yes, assuming this is not some stunt to try and make Biden look like he also survived a near death experience like Trump, which i wouldn't put past the DNC to think they have to do to even the playing field now.
