Biden Gets His Annual Physical

February 28, 2024 · 9:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Joe Biden is visiting Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday for his annual physical exam — and the results are sure to be closely watched as the 81-year-old president seeks reelection,” the AP reports.

“Biden is already the oldest president in U.S. history and would be 86 by the end of a second term, should he win one. After his last physical, performed in February 2023, doctors declared Biden ‘healthy, vigorous’ and ‘fit’ to handle his White House duties.”

“But voters are approaching this year’s election with misgivings about Biden’s age, having scrutinized his gaffes, his coughing, his slow walking and even a tumble off his bicycle.”
