President Joe Biden Undergoes Annual Physical at Walter Reed Medical Center, Results Awaited

On Wednesday morning, President Joe Biden arrived at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his annual physical examination. The results of the examination are expected to be formally summarized later in the afternoon. This routine examination holds particular significance this year, as it could either strengthen or weaken the 81-year-old president's case for serving another four years in the White House.

Public Perception and Political Opposition

President Biden has faced persistent criticisms regarding his age and physical fitness, particularly from his political adversaries, including the former president, Donald Trump. In contrast, despite being in a similar age bracket, polls indicate that voters are less concerned about Trump's fitness than Biden's.

Response to Criticisms

Earlier in February, a Department of Justice special counsel scrutinizing Biden's handling of classified documents referred to the President as an "elderly man with a poor memory" in a report. In response, Biden vehemently defended himself, acknowledging his age while asserting, “I know what the hell I'm doing.”
