A hoarse-sounding President Joe Biden said on Friday he has a cold, possibly contracted from a grandson.

After a speech about the U.S. economy in which he sounded congested and coughed several times, reporters asked Biden if he was okay.

"I'm okay. I have a test every day, a COVID test... What I have is a one-and-a-half year old grandson who has a cold who likes to kiss his pop...it's just a cold," he said.
