Biden To Visit Walter Reed Hospital For Annual Physical

CNN reports:

President Joe Biden is going to receive his annual routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday, which will likely be the last presidential health update before the 2024 election as Biden faces persistent questions about his age.

The president is expected to be seen by his physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who has previously issued a report on the president’s health following physicals. Biden will appear before reporters at 1:30 p.m. ET. when he delivers remarks on community safety and actions to fight crime.

The White House said it will publicly release a written summary of the president’s physical later on Wednesday. The daily press briefing is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday as well.
