President Joe Biden is hunkering down after testing positive for COVID-19. Donald Trump will wrap up the last day of the RNC. And comedian Bob Newhart has died.
👋 Hey, Thursday! Laura Davis here. Let’s get you caught up on the news.
Get well soon, Mr. President! Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 following an event Wednesday in Las Vegas, the White House confirmed. This is the third time the president has tested positive for the virus. And Biden is not alone: The positivity rates for COVID-19 have been increasing recently, as have visits to the emergency department and deaths.
How's he doing? Biden, 81, is vaccinated and boosted and is "experiencing mild symptoms," the White House said.
It's the fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention, and GOP lawmakers, delegates and other officials will wrap up a week of proceedings that saw former President Donald Trump formally nominated as the Republican presidential nominee. Trump's running mate also became official this week with the nomination of Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, who headlined Wednesday night's list of speakers. 📍 Follow along with our live updates.
Friends and family of Corey Comperatore gathered Thursday at Laube Hall in Freeport, a small town on the Allegheny River, to pay their respects to the volunteer firefighter and father of two who was killed in last weekend's attack on former President Donald Trump. 👉 See the latest updates.
No one ever listened funnier than Bob Newhart. It’s one thing to do so when someone is actually speaking to you – but to appear to listen when nothing is being said? Newhart, who died Thursday at 94, turned that into an art. The droll standup comedian and actor died at home in Los Angeles after a series of short illnesses, his publicist said.
Remembering Bob: It was his mastery of a slow-burn silence that made him a TV star, one of the few to have his name in the title of two beloved, classic and critically acclaimed CBS sitcom hits: "The Bob Newhart Show" in the 1970s and, a few years later, "Newhart." 👉 Read more about his life and legacy here.
