President Joe Biden, with the support of Democratic governors, announced during a private meeting that he underwent a medical check-up after his debate with Donald Trump and assured them that he is in good health. The 81-year-old president explained that he had the check-up after last week’s debate, in which he had a disappointing performance. The information was exclusively revealed to ABC News by attendees of the White House meeting. According to sources, Biden visited the doctor due to a cold, and the exam did not include any major tests.
This revelation came after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied earlier that Biden had undergone any medical tests since his last physical in February. Despite rumors and pressure for him to withdraw his candidacy following his debate performance, Biden is determined to fight for his re-election bid. The President discussed his health with Democratic governors and reassured them that he is running to win in the November elections.
Concerns about Biden’s age and ability to beat Trump have intensified since the debate. Democratic officials, donors, and lawmakers have expressed doubts about his candidacy, but Biden remains adamant about continuing his campaign. He has scheduled interviews and campaign events to boost his image over the Fourth of July weekend. Although his performance in the debate was criticized, Democratic governors and representatives continue to show support for Biden and believe he is fit for office.
Despite the challenges and doubts surrounding his candidacy, Biden remains committed to his re-election bid. He faces pressure from within the Democratic party to step aside, but he has chosen to fight for another term in the White House. The President’s determination, coupled with the support of Democratic governors and representatives, indicates that he is not giving up on his bid for re-election.
