Biden remains fit for duty, physician says following his physical

Biden remains fit for duty, physician says following his physical, per ABC News.

“President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency,” White House physician Kevin O’Connor said in a five-page memo.

Biden’s previous physical was in November 2021, when O’Connor also said he was “fit for duty” and could carry out his responsibilities “without any exemptions or accommodations.”

At that time, O’Connor first observed that the president, then 78, had a “stiffened” gait following a foot fracture. In Thursday’s memo, O’Connor said Biden’s gait “remains stiff, but has not worsened.”

O’Connor said after Biden’s 2021 exam that an “extremely detailed neurologic exam” showed no disorders, such as the possibility of a stroke, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s.

Biden described his exam by saying: “Well, everything really went well. God, love him. Thank God for small favors.”
