WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden’s physician Dr Kevin O’Connor has reportedly claimed that the POTUS is in great health despite several reports saying he’s not in good shape.

The doctor called Biden’s health “excellent” after being asked about it by a reporter on the White House driveway, The New York Post reported.

Kevin O’Connor says Joe Biden doesn’t ‘need cognitive test’

The reporter also questioned him about Biden’s “mental cognition,” to which he again replied, “It’s excellent,” before mentioning that he does not “need to perform a cognitive test on him.”

When O’Connor was questioned about “[Parkinson’s] specialist’s visits to the White House,” he just said, “He’s seen him three times, my letter was clear,” referring to a letter he issued earlier in July.

It reportedly read, “Dr Cannard was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals. President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical.”

“Prior to the pandemic, and following its end, he has held regular Neurology Clinics at the White House Medical Clinic in support of the thousands of active-duty members assigned in support of White House operations,” the president’s physician added.

Joe Biden says America needs ‘new voices, fresh voices’

This came after Biden announced his drop out from his re-election bid.

On Wednesday night, July 24, he shared, as per The Post, “In recent weeks, it’s become clear to me I need to unite my party … but nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy – and that includes personal ambition. So I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That’s the best way to unite our nation.”

“You know, there is a time and a place for long years of experience in public life. There’s also a time and a place for new voices, fresh voices —yes, younger voices. And that time of place is now,” he added.

Critics demand Joe Biden’s resignation

However, many of his critics believe that the 81-year-old leader’s decision came as he’s mentally incapable of running the nation.

Even House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) reportedly said, “If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.”

Also, JD Vance tweeted, “If Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President? Not running for reelection would be a clear admission that President Trump was right all along about Biden not being mentally fit enough to serve as Commander-in-Chief. There is no middle ground.”



 

Kevin O’Connor called ‘a DEI doctor’

Meanwhile, people online have reacted to O’Connor’s statement as a user tweeted, “Remind me NEVER to go to this doctor!!”



 

Another user shared, “It may be time to have Biden’s physician examined.”



 

The third user wrote, “Strange, isn’t it? Doesn’t change the fact democrat power brokers threw him under the bus, once everyone saw the obvious decline on national TV.”



 

“His license should be revoked for malpractice,” the fourth user stated.



 



 

The fifth one added, “Biden’s doctor should be criminally prosecuted. Just like all the ‘covid’ doctors.”



 

“Must be a DEI ‘doctor’,” a person remarked.



 

Another person added, “A few months after leaving office they will announce he is in full-time nursing care.”
