Former President Barack Obama is scaling back the size of his upcoming 60th birthday party because of the spread of a variant of the CCP virus.
“This outdoor event was planned months ago in accordance with all public health guidelines and with COVID safeguards in place. Due to the new spread of the delta variant over the past week, the President and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends,” a spokeswoman for the ex-president told news outlets in a statement.
