Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday cancelled an appearance at an Illinois Democratic event due to “doctor’s orders not to travel.”
Biden had been scheduled to address the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch in Springfield on Thursday.
A spokesperson for Biden told CNN he would be “fine in a few days.”
Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association President Doug House wrote in a statement posted to Facebook Tuesday night, “Everyone who knows Vice President Biden knows that he gives our party and our country his all, but unfortunately he is sick and is under doctor’s orders not to travel.”
“The cancellation is of course disappointing, but it is clear that the circumstances are simply unavoidable,” House added.
“Everyone who knows Vice President Biden knows that he gives our party and our country his all, but unfortunately he is sick and is under doctor’s orders not to travel.”
Sorry to hear this, but let’s face it: If he were 55 instead of 75, the doctor would not have issued such orders.
I love Joe, and I know that tRump says he’s the only Democrat that hair Furor is worried about, but Joe is not the standard-bearer for 2020. He’s served his country well for a long time (apart from that regrettable incident with the Clarence Thomas hearing), but it’s time for him to start his ride into the Sunset.
If by country… you mean MBNA, I agree.
It’s possible he has something contagious.
It’s called being elderly. And not only does the entire Dem leadership have it, but one day we all will too!!!
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve got nothing against my elders. I’m somewhat elder myself. But nothing wrong with handing the reigns off to a younger generation. Joe and Pelosi can still mentor and lead from behind the scenes. But its not helping with the young vote.
