White House downplays Biden's 'lingering' COVID-19 cough

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters not to be concerned by President Joe Biden's coughing fit during a bill signing Tuesday.

Biden emerged from two-week COVID-19 isolation over the weekend following a coronavirus rebound infection, and his Tuesday remarks were repeatedly punctuated by heavy, loose coughing and nose blowing.

BIDEN TESTS NEGATIVE FOR COVID AFTER SPEECH-INTERRUPTING COUGH

"We shared his negative test today," Jean-Pierre told reporters at the top of the briefing. "He's tested negative Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and now, today."

"What he's experiencing right now is the lingering effects of COVID, which is something I'm sure many of us who have had COVID have endured or have to deal with," she continued. "So that's what you're seeing at this time."

Jean-Pierre noted that Biden has used an inhaler "from time to time because he has experienced coughs, as you've heard from even before COVID."

Biden and first lady Jill Biden traveled to their home in Delaware over the weekend after the president posted consecutive negative tests in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. The pair then visited Kentucky on Monday to survey damage inflicted by historic flooding in the eastern part of the state. Biden did not appear to be suffering from a cough at any point during his Monday trip.
