Source: Chicago Sun Times

SPRINGFIELD — Former Vice President Joe Biden is “just under the weather.”

That was the official reason Biden’s office gave Wednesday after the former vice-president cancelled his trip to Illinois to speak at the State Fair, where Democrats hope he would help unleash a “Blue Wave” across the state.

On Wednesday, Biden’s office said the illness is “nothing serious.” A spokesman said Biden is “just under the weather and needs a few days’ rest.” His office said the former vice president had hoped to be at the event and will be “back in the arena shortly.”

Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association president, said “The cancellation is of course disappointing, but it is clear that the circumstances are simply unavoidable. We all hope he gets well soon and I’m sure he’ll be back campaigning for Democrats in Illinois and across the country in no time”.
