President Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would re-evaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary.
Mr. Biden has said repeatedly that none of his doctors have told him he has a serious medical condition. Dr. Kevin OâConnor, the White House physician, wrote after the presidentâs physical in February that Mr. Biden is âa healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.â
But his disastrous performance at a debate with former President Donald J. Trump last month, which prompted a wave of calls by Democratic allies to step aside, raised questions about his health and acuity.
Dr. Kevin OâConnor, the White House physician, wrote after the presidentâs physical in February that Mr. Biden is âa healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.â
I mean, I definitely think he should step down, and the white house physician also said Trump was 6â2 200 lbs soâŠ
White House physicians are basically captured medical professionals - they get INSANE access to not just the office, but a lot of the entourage and hangers-on. Yeah you can say no, but itâs a very competitive and prestigious posting that has no shortage of applicants.
OâConnor came back after being Bidenâs VP doctor, and has⊠conflicting interests when it comes to giving medical advice that might make his role redundant
