On Wednesday, President Biden\u00a0revealed that he is making an unannounced trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a physical exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month,\u00a0White House\u00a0press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated<\/a> that Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, does not believe a cognitive test is necessary. She said O’Connor believes Biden proves his cognitive ability “every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Does the White House think that the idea of the president taking a cognitive test as a part of this physical is a legitimate idea?” a reporter asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m just gonna say what Dr. O’Connor said to me about a year ago when [Biden’s physical] was released,” Jean-Pierre responded. “The president proves every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks, by dealing with world leaders, by making difficult decisions on behalf of the American people \u2013 whether it’s domestic or it’s national security.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Biden received his last physical<\/a> on Feb. 16 of last year, when his physician gave him a clean bill of health in a letter that said Biden was “fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wednesday physical will likely be the final update on Biden’s health before the November presidential elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walter Reed, the hospital used by all presidents for routine medical care and examinations, is located in Bethesda, Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President’s health and age have been contentious topics throughout his presidency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
