President Biden finally tested negative for COVID-19 on Saturday, according to a letter from White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor, but he will continue to isolate until he tests negative a second time.

In an expression of optimism, the White House separately announced on Saturday night that the president would leave Sunday morning for Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, finally escaping for a summer break after two weeks stuck at the White House with his dog Commander. The trip depends on a negative test on Sunday morning before he departs.
