WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is now testing negative for COVID-19 prior to his Oval Office address to the nation. His doctor has released a statement on Tuesday saying his symptoms are resolved. The president is scheduled to return to the White House on Tuesday and address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET regarding his decision to drop his 2024 Democratic reelection bid.
