President Joe Biden popped by the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Thursday morning to complete his long-awaited routine physical exam.
Dr. Kevin O'Connor is currently serving as the physician to the president, tasked with assessing the 80-year-old Biden's health. O'Connor previously found Biden “fit for duty” during the most recent physical released to the public, and all eyes will be on the written summary of Thursday's physical, expected to be released later in the day.Shortly after assuming the presidency, Biden appointed O'Connor as White House physician to replace Dr.
Last year, after Biden contracted the COVID-19 respiratory illness, O'Connor provided updates to the public as the president's symptoms began to subside. Questions about Biden's health have loomed over him amid buzz about him mounting a 2024 reelection campaign and his status as an octogenarian. Biden is already the oldest president in United States history. At the start of a hypothetical second term in office, he would be 82 and 86 by the end of it.Polls and focus groups have pegged unease among general voters about Biden's age and ability to perform his duties.
Some of Biden's rivals have insisted older politicians should undergo cognitive exams. This includes recently announced presidential contender Nikki Haley, who called for"mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old." Prior to that, Biden told reporters he would complete his physical before the end of 2022 and indicated portions of it have already been completed.
