It was Biden’s last routine checkup at Walter Reed Military Hospital before the November presidential election.
President of the United States Joe Biden81, is able to work.
Biden underwent a health check-up at Walter Reed Military Hospital on Wednesday.
According to the White House, Biden had no new health problems.
– He is still able to work and performs all his duties without exceptions or adjustments. This year’s medical examination revealed no concerns, doctor Kevin O’Connor stated in his summary.
According to the doctor, Biden has started using a ventilator at night, which is supposed to improve the quality of sleep.
In addition, the president underwent an urgent dental operation.
According to Biden’s own words, the results of his health check-up are no different from last year’s.
– They thought I looked too young for my age. Everything is great, Biden joked after the inspection.
According to the doctor, Biden still suffers from minor problems, such as stiffness in walking due to wear and tear on his spine.
The special prosecutor described him as an “old man with a bad memory”
The president’s state of health and 81-year-old age have raised doubts about his ability to work.
During the past year, Biden has messed up his speeches several times.
For example, Biden has mixed up the names of the heads of state of different countries several times. This has fueled suspicions that his memory is failing.
According to the White House, Biden did not show any neurological problems, such as Parkinson’s disease or stroke, during the examination.
– The president passes a cognitive test every day. This is a very demanding job, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a press conference.
At the beginning of February, the special prosecutor Robert Hurin the report stated that Biden will not be prosecuted for taking classified documents home because he is an “elderly man with poor memory.”
Wednesday’s checkup was President Biden’s last routine checkup at Walter Reed Military Hospital before the November presidential election.
The early favorites for the US presidential election are incumbent President Biden and the 77-year-old Republican Donald Trump.
