President Joe Biden had his annual physical, with the White House physician reporting him as fit for duty despite being 81 years old.
The exam involved various specialists and found his health conditions stable.
“The President feels well and this year’s physical identified no new concerns. He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations,” White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote.

However, many Americans doubted the results, citing concerns about Biden’s health and cognitive abilities.
“President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief,” O’Connor added.
Some mocked the report, while others defended Biden, with one suggesting he could beat Trump in a push-up contest.
The absence of a cognitive exam has raised eyebrows, with public opinion showing significant concerns about Biden’s health.
“This is already a leading candidate for the lie of the year 2024,” one X user wrote.
“These are fundamentally dishonest people. It’s just that simple,” YouTuber Tim Pool said.
“If Joe Biden were truly healthy and robust as his ‘Dr’ so stated, then why not prove to the world that you can pass a cognitive test and just demand one at your last annual physical before the general election?” another X user wrote.
“If you look at what a clinical cognitive test is — actually what it does — it is a 15-minute appointment that is administered by someone who, most of the time, people don’t actually know,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
“Folks need to understand that the president passes a cognitive test every day,” Jean-Pierre said.
Critics argued that Biden’s mental decline is evident, questioning the decision to keep him in office.
