Joy Reid Equates Biden’s COVID Recovery to Trump Surviving Assassination Attempt

MSNBC host Joy Reid has suggested that President Joe Biden's recovery from COVID-19 could be viewed as a sign of strength, comparable to former President Donald Trump's survival of a recent assassination attempt. Reid drew parallels between the two elderly leaders, emphasizing that if Trump's return to the campaign trail after the attack was seen as a demonstration of resilience, Biden's recovery from COVID-19 should be similarly regarded.

Reid argued that Biden's quick recovery could be used as a political opportunity to highlight his responsibility and to remind the public of the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed over a million lives. She also questioned the nature of the injuries from the assassination attempt on Trump, suggesting that the event may have been staged for a photo opportunity. The White House has announced that Biden will self-isolate in Delaware following his diagnosis.
