The White House confirmed that President Joe Biden did not undergo a cognitive test during his annual physical on Wednesday, insisting he “doesn’t need it.”
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed concerns that the 81-year-old is unfit for a second term and praised his record.
“Since there’s been so much scrutiny…why not just have your doctor administer the test?” one reporter asked after Biden went to Walter Reed for his annual physical.
The White House confirmed that President Joe Biden did not undergo a cognitive test during his annual physical on Wednesday, insisting he “doesn’t need it.”
She responded: ‘People need to understand that the president passes a cognitive test every day!’
She ruled out the need for a cognitive, even though the Justice Department called him an “old man with a bad memory” in the special counsel’s report on his mishandling of classified documents.
Biden previously joked that doctors “think I look too young” while giving reporters an update on his annual physical.
President Joe Biden joked that doctors “think I look too young” as he gave reporters an update on his annual physical, which took place Wednesday.
Biden unexpectedly left the White House on Wednesday morning and told reporters he was headed to Walter Reed to undergo his annual physical.
Biden arrives at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Wednesday to receive his annual physical, with the results expected to be released Wednesday afternoon.
Biden stayed at the Bethesda medical center for about two and a half hours, returned to the White House and then held an event on reducing crime in America with top law enforcement voices in the State Dining Room.
“I’m fine, everything is fixed,” he told reporters after giving brief statements. “No, there’s nothing different from last year,” she also revealed.
The White House said a report on the physical examination will be released Wednesday.
For months, polls have shown that most Americans doubt that Biden can be effective during a second term, which would end when he is 86 years old.
During last year’s evaluation by White House physician Kevin O’Connor, the doctor said Biden remained “fit for duty.”
