President Biden got his latest physical on Wednesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — an evaluation that the White House said drew on the expertise of 20 doctors but did not involve a cognitive exam.
The summary of the exam will be closely scrutinized since Biden, now 81, is the oldest person ever to hold the office of U.S. president, and voters have expressed concern that he is too old for a second four-year term in the job.
Biden’s medical reports from November 2021 and February 2023 also did not include any references to tests or evaluations of his memory or cognition.
The White House has since taken pains to show Biden managing a busy schedule of campaign travel and other public appearances, where he often tries to use humor to reassure people about his age.
Last week, at a fundraising event in Beverly Hills, Calif., Biden joked with donors that “I may not run as fast as I used to” but said that his age has brought him “a little bit of wisdom about how we can get things done.”
Biden has also added one over-the-counter medicine to his regime: Nexium, for acid reflux, which O’Connor said causes his frequent throat clearing.
