Former President Barack Obama is expected to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday, according to CBS News.

CBS News stated that Obama is set to make the endorsement in a long video message that will come out later today.

Obama finally endorsed Biden after Senator Bernie Sanders gave his endorsement. Moreover, it appears the speculation was correct that Obama would not endorse his former Vice President until there was no one else left in the Democratic presidential primary.

In December, during Biden’s ‘No Malarky’ bus tour in the midwest, Biden told reporters that he told Obama not to endorse him.

“No, because everyone knows I’m close with him,” Biden said. “I don’t need an Obama endorsement.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with Florida state health officials, are investigating what is believed to be a case of monkeypox. A statement from the Florida Department of Health in Broward County stated the “case is related to international travel, and the person remains isolated.”

Late Friday a New York City resident also tested positive for the virus that causes monkeypox, and is the state’s first confirmed case. On Sunday, President Joe Biden made his first public statements about the outbreaks, saying the recent spread of monkeypox in at least 12 countries are “something that everybody should be concerned about.”

Axios reports a person was confirmed positive with the virus in Massachusetts, New York and “roughly a half dozen other cases” are “being monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
