US President Joe Biden has been declared “fit for duty” by his physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, following an extensive annual physical examination. Despite being the oldest president in US history, Biden maintains a robust health routine, including working out five days a week.
The president’s recent physical, conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, lasted over two and a half hours, concluding with positive results.Dr O’Connor’s six-page memo highlighted Biden’s effective management of sleep apnea with a CPAP machine and noted some hip discomfort. However, no new health concerns were identified.
“The President feels well and this year’s physical identified no new concerns,” O’Connor wrote. “He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”
Despite challenges, President Biden continues to lead an active lifestyle, including regular exercise such as golfing and biking. His health status remains a pivotal factor in the political landscape as he and Trump gear up for a possible electoral rematch.
Public scrutiny and political implications
A special counsel’s recent report, scrutinizing Biden’s management of classified documents, consistently criticized his memory, describing it as “hazy,” “fuzzy,” “faulty,” “poor,” and having “significant limitations.” The report also highlighted Biden’s failure to remember crucial events in his life, including the date of his son Beau’s death and his tenure as vice president.
Amid reelection efforts, Biden’s health is under intense public scrutiny, especially considering his advanced age.
Asked if there was anything Americans should be concerned about, Biden made a joke about his age. “Well, they think I look too young,” Biden quipped.
While the president jokes about his age and maintains a vigorous schedule, concerns about his physical and cognitive capabilities persist in public discourse. His physician’s report aims to quell doubts by emphasizing Biden’s capacity to fulfill presidential duties.
Comparison with Trump
As the November elections approach, former President Donald Trump, aged 77, is set to potentially face Biden once more. Trump’s health, particularly his weight and physical fitness, has also been a topic of discussion. Both candidates face public scrutiny regarding their age and fitness for the presidency.
Political reactions
The report comes at a time when many, including within Biden’s own party, express concerns about his age. However, Biden counters these concerns by emphasizing the wisdom and experience that come with age, while also pointing out Trump’s own public gaffes.
