I saw this just now over at scored.co, where so many threads are being made on it.

I think he'll be fine, just like Trump was.

That being said, I wonder what would happen if he ended up dying? The first thing that comes to my mind is that ridiculous 'Israel had Biden assassinated' conspiracy theories might start floating around.

More realistically, it also wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Kamala was to sideline Biden and finally assume the mantle of 'Madame President'. Much to Hilary's disappointment, since she wanted to be the first. I suspect many Democrats would breathe a sigh of relief if Biden was to become just another Covid statistic, since it allows for someone to replace him without the succession struggle likely to happen in the next Democrat primaries. Aiming for a second Biden-Harris term would be the surest way for them to lose, and him simply dropping dead seems the cleanest, easiest way to avoid factional infighting.

If there's any group that would be crazy enough to intentionally expose a world leader they dont like to covid, it would be the Israelis. No one dares ever accuse them of anything, because that would be antisemitic, and it would be impossible to prove anyway unless some Israelis connected to his trip openly bragged about it. We know the neoliberal establishment is tired of Biden because his approval ratings are in the toilet and there really isnt anything he's done well. He was meant to be a disposable president anyway.

I'm not saying the Israelis did it on purpose, but seems odd they would accidentally expose Biden to covid after being the nation most obsessed with covid from day one.

Even if they did, ABC news would just call it an anti-semetic conspiracy theory and everyone would move on.
