According to TASS, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during a briefing whether such a temporary transfer of power is planned if Biden's condition worsens.
“The president has mild symptoms.
He is able to deal with the affairs of the American people from his residence.
And that is what matters now,” the spokeswoman replied.
She then left the briefing without answering a clarifying question whether there were no such plans.
On July 21, Biden tested positive for COVID-19.
He has mild symptoms of coronavirus.
Biden's trips have been canceled for at least five days, according to the White House pool.
In November 2021, Biden handed over his powers to Kamala Harris during his stay under anesthesia in the hospital, where he underwent a colonoscopy.
After the operation, he returned to the duties of the head of state.
