Results will be closely watched."},"content":{"rendered":"\n

President Joe Biden<\/a> is visiting Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday for his annual physical exam \u2014 and the results are sure to be closely watched as the 81-year-old president seeks reelection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden would be 86 by the end of a second term, should he win one. After his last physical, performed in February 2023, doctors declared Biden \u201chealthy, vigorous\u201d and \u201cfit\u201d<\/a> to handle his White House duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But voters are approaching this year\u2019s election with misgivings about Biden\u2019s age<\/a>, having scrutinized his gaffes, his coughing, his slow walking and even a tumble off his bicycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to Walter Reed to get my physical,\u201d Biden told reporters as he left the White House, which said it will release a written summary of the \u201croutine\u201d checkup later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former President Donald Trump<\/a>, 77, is the favorite to lock up the Republican nomination later this month, which would bring him closer to a November rematch against Biden. Trump was 70 when he took office in 2017, which made him the oldest American president to be inaugurated, until Biden broke his record by being inaugurated at 78 in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent special counsel\u2019s report investigating Biden\u2019s possession of classified documents<\/a> repeatedly derided Biden\u2019s memory, calling it \u201chazy,\u201d \u201cfuzzy,\u201d \u201cfaulty,\u201d \u201cpoor\u201d and having \u201csignificant limitations.\u201d It also noted that Biden could not recall defining milestones in his own life such as when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, addressing reporters the evening of the report\u2019s release, Biden said \u201cmy memory is fine\u201d and grew visibly angry as he denied forgetting when his son died of brain cancer in 2015<\/a> at the age of 46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing of memory and cognitive skills are not usually part of routine physicals like the one Biden is underdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His last physical showed that the president had a lesion removed from his chest over the previous year, but the results then otherwise largely matched the findings after Biden\u2019s previous exam in November 2021. That report said his occasional coughing was due to acid reflux, while his stiffened gait was the result of spinal arthritis, a previously broken foot and neuropathy in his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House also announced last summer that Biden had begun using a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine at night to help with sleep apnea \u2014 which could be reflected in the final report his doctors will release on Biden\u2019s physical on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president had a colonoscopy in 2021, in which a 3 millimeter \u201cbenign-appearing polyp\u201d was identified and removed. In 1988, Biden had surgery to repair two brain aneurysms, which are weak bulges in arteries, and one of them leaking, but subsequent examinations have never revealed evidence of recurrences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Americans, including Democrats, have expressed reservations about Biden<\/a> seeking a second term during this fall\u2019s election. Only 37% of Democrats say Biden should pursue reelection, down from 52% before the 2022 midterm elections, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polls have shown similar reluctance about Trump too, however, and that hasn\u2019t stopped either from closing in on their party\u2019s nominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden has suggested that his advanced age brings wisdom and he has begun to criticize Trump for the former president\u2019s recent public gaffes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden joked<\/a> that his age was classified information and suggested during a taping in New York on Monday of \u201cLate Night With Seth Meyers<\/a> \u2033 that Trump mistakenly called his wife Melania, \u201cMercedes\u201d during a weekend speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference — though the Trump campaign says he was correctly referring to political commentator Mercedes Schlapp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has had his own share of verbal miscues, mixing up the city and state where he was campaigning, calling Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n the leader of Turkey and repeatedly mispronouncing the militant group Hamas as \u201chummus.\u201d More recently, he confused his Republican primary rival Nikki Haley with former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While he was president, Trump\u2019s annual physical in 2019 revealed that he had gained weight and was up to 243 pounds. With his 6-foot, 3-inch frame, that meant Trump\u2019s Body Mass Index was 30.4. An index rating of 30 is the level at which doctors consider someone obese under this commonly used formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump won Michigan\u2019s Republican primary on Tuesday and Biden easily clinched the state\u2019s Democratic one<\/a>. But an \u201cuncommitted\u201d campaign organized by activists disillusioned with the president\u2019s handling of the war in Gaza far surpassed the 10,000-vote margin in the Democratic primary. That was the margin by which Trump won Michigan in 2016 and the goal set by organizers \u2014 a potential source of embarrassment for Biden\u2019s reelection campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
