Here's the "health issue" next comes the ending of the re-election. I really thought the cycle would have been a little slower.

The DNC is planning of formally nominating the democratic ticket on August 5, which does not leave much time to pick a replacement (even if the replacement is vice president Harris).

The August 5 date was picked back when everyone thought the nomination was a mere formality, in order to comply with an August 7 deadline from Ohio. Ohio, for its part, has pushed the deadline back to September, but I don't think the DNC wants to risk a ballot challenge making it's way to the Supreme Court.

I'm just gonna see how real y'all are: I hope he drops out because of it

I'm downvoting because of the whiny prefix. Not because I don't hope it kicks his ass

What does this mean? Can someone explain?

This spring, i had once a bit fever, nauseous, a little collapse too. After a day it was over, then a rebellious belly for a week. I was often sooner tired, less energy for a while after that. My sis, living with her husband, had the same. That was the new covid, right?

This explains the debate, it was COVID! That's why his voice was strange, people were saying he seemed like he was sick.

And just earlier he said he could drop out if a medical issue came up. Maybe this is it.

Here's a tweet from after the notorious debate where he messed up, and claimed afterwards that he had a cold:

I mostly don't want him to drop out, but after that debate performance, covid was the first thing I thought of.

I've been posting for weeks that he's gonna back out because of a medical issue, which they will not disclose fully.

Historians will find years later that he had a contagious case of notgonnawinatall, compounded by inflammation of the opeds.
