As Twitchy reported, President Joe Biden shot a video to tell supporters that although he has COVID-19, he’s only feeling minor symptoms and everything will be fine. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attested to Biden’s superhuman stamina, noting that “he spoke for 20 minutes in 93-degree weather” Wednesday while everyone else in his entourage was ready to pass out from the heat.
Biden looks and sounds fine, but one reporter wanted to know if there’s any plan in place to transfer power to Vice President Kamala Harris, you know, just in case.
REPORTER: "Is there a plan in place to transfer power to Vice President Harris if the president's situation gets worse?"
KJP: "He's able to do the business of the American people from the residence, and that's what matters right now."
"So there's no plan in place then?" pic.twitter.com/OrFbjHHz0f

“There’s no plan to put Kamala in charge, then?”
“Look…we’re evil, not crazy!”— It’s only offensive because it’s true. (@PThomasLann) July 21, 2022
“The shadow cabal actually running the country are doing fine”

"We're in a place where a plan must be in place… and planning for this place is our plan… and has always been our plan for this place."
Vice President Kamala Harris

That whole presser was a total 💩show by what appears to be an absolutely and entirely clueless and useless WH team. Wtf do these people do all day, honest question?

KJP can only read a prepared printed statement. There is no “on the fly” speaking ability. Clever reporter.

Even the reporters were getting a little frustrated with the way the presser was going:
REPORTER: "Can we get the president's physician here so we can not play the game of telephone?"
KJP: "I don't think this is a game of telephone…" pic.twitter.com/hEoMIWsEUu

Hey, we heard from the big guy himself on video. He’s fine. As far as all of the elderly Democrats he flew on Air Force One with Wednesday, though, we don’t know.
