Biden’s Doctor Says He’s ‘Fit For Duty’ Following Annual Physical Exam
HuffPost
Wednesday's health update is expected to be the last before the 2024 election.
Joe Biden’s physician said on Wednesday that the president is “fit for duty” based on the results of his annual physical examination.
In a statement on Wednesday, Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, wrote that the president received a detailed physical examination, including consultations with several specialists, and found “no new concerns” since his last exam in February 2023.
Biden “fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations,” O’Connor wrote.
At age 81, Biden is the oldest president to hold office and has faced scrutiny about his age and mental acuity.
While speaking at a New York reception earlier this month, Biden mixed up Angela Merkel with another former German chancellor, Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017. The next day, special counsel Robert Hur said in a report that he had decided not to indict Biden for retaining classified documents after his vice presidency because of Biden’s “significantly limited” memory, among other factors.
