Biden 'remains fit for duty,' White House doctor says after his 2nd presidential physical

Joe Biden on Thursday had his second physical as president, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, more than a year after his first physical since taking the White House.

According to a memo released from the president’s physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Biden "remains fit for duty, and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”

"President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief," O'Connor wrote.

Biden, who is the oldest sitting president, has said he is leaning toward seeking a second term, and his physical fitness and mental acuity will likely be top of mind for voters if he does run again.

He has largely brushed off those age questions amid speculation about his 2024 plans.

"Look, I'm a great respecter of fate. I would be completely, thoroughly honest with the American people if I thought there was any health problem, anything that would keep me from being able to do the job. And and, so we'll see. But, you know, I just -- I think people have to just watch me," Biden said in an interview with "PBS NewsHour" earlier this month.
