Physician to the president Kevin O’Connor declared in a memo to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that the president remains “fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”
“This patient’s current medical considerations are detailed as above, and remain stable and well-controlled. They include obstructive sleep apnea, a-fib with normal ventricular response, hyperlipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux, seasonal allergies, spinal arthritis and sensory peripheral neuropathy of the feet. For these, he takes three common prescription medications and three common over-the-counter medications,” O’Connor noted.
“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,” the physician added.
Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing on Wednesday that Biden’s doctor and the neurologist do not think that the president needs a cognitive test.
Biden, who is the oldest president in U.S. history and would be 86 by the end of a second term in office, is currently seeking re-election and appears likely to easily lock up his party’s presidential nomination.
