More details have emerged as to why President Joe Biden suddenly dropped out from the presidential election on Sunday. Earlier in the week, it appears that the commander-in-chief suffered a medical emergency while campaigning in Nevada, according to law enforcement officials.
The sudden illness led to local police and a Trauma 1 hospital to prepare to treat the president.
The Dossier writes:
Several law enforcement officers on duty that day were informed over the radio that the president was dealing with an unspecified medical emergency. Far from a case of the sniffles, this was sent out on encrypted police airwaves as if something akin to a five-alarm fire had broken out.
Our sources estimate that it was “easily” hundreds of Las Vegas Metropolitan officers and employees who heard the broadcasts live, so a curious media shouldn’t have a problem reporting any follow-ups to this story. The dispatches made clear that this was much more than a mere change of plans, because it set into motion so much of their on-duty emergency response apparatus.
Radio dispatchers responsible for coordinating with the president’s detail requested an immediate “surge” of law enforcement resources into the area, both to secure the vicinity and to expedite the president’s movement.
According to these law enforcement sources, the president’s motorcade was initially planning on heading to University Medical Center (UMC), which was located about two miles up the road from the president’s position. Police answered the call, rapidly deploying their “in the box” emergency squads to facilitate the reroute to the hospital.
Local Las Vegas news confirmed that the hospital was placed on standby and placed on alert to prepare for the president.
“‘I’m happy that commander-in-chief is safe and doing well,’ Mason Van Houweling, CEO of UMC, said. ‘We prepare the perimeter set, lots of security measures, lots of training with our staff.’
Due to the hospital being the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Nevada, that’s where the president will go during a medical emergency.
Van Houweling said the hospital was alerted around 2:15 p.m. about a possible medical issue with the president.
‘Didn’t have the details around that, but we were ready and stood ready to be able to address any needs that the president needed,'” Van Houweling told the local NBC affiliate.
Biden had previously stated that only an illness or a message from God would keep him out of running for reelection.
On Sunday he posted a letter saying he would renounce the Democratic nomination and on Monday he called in to a Kamala Harris campaign rally, but he has not been seen by the public in days.

Have had one since in office
Seems mighty convenient.
Interesting they didn’t give a crap when Trump was shot. Here we have a guy as president who would be useless if this country had a real emergency say a nuke being launched so close we couldn’t stop it. Everything would stop to get him out of the zone and screw the rest of the American people.
