President Joe Biden’s physician gave him a clean bill of health following his annual check-up on Wednesday but left questions about the president’s mental fitness untouched.

Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the presidential physician, provided a written summary of the physical on Wednesday. The doctor identified no new concerns with President Biden’s physical health since his last check-up on Feb. 16, 2023, and insisted the president continues to be fit to serve without any special exemptions or accommodations.
