President Joe Biden had a medical checkup after his debate last week and assured Democratic governors during a private meeting at the White House that he is in good health. According to sources familiar with the conversation, the checkup was prompted by a cold he had and was described as a “brief” exam with no major tests involved.
Reportedly, the president conveyed to the governors that he had a positive prognosis regarding his health. ABC News has contacted the White House for further comments on the matter, but no response has been provided at the time of reporting.
This information was initially disclosed by Politico and was later addressed by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. She stated that President Biden had not undergone any medical exams following his last physical in February, adding that he had not undergone any kind of medical exams at all prior to the conversation.
