Biden “fit and able” to be the leader of the free world

Joe Biden has been given the green light by the White House doctor

 
Joe Biden remains a “healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency” according to the official White House doctor.

Questions do remain around one small lesion which was removed from the president’s chest and sent for a biopsy.

The report also says Biden experiences occasional bouts of reflux, which causes him to clear his throat often and may contribute to occasional cough and sinus congestion.

It’s Biden’s first physical in a year and a half as the leader battles ongoing criticism he is too old for the top job.

It comes as the 80-year-old is expected to announce a reelection bid.

Already the oldest person to assume office in the U.S., Biden would be 86 at the end of a second term.

While Biden acknowledges questions about his age are legitimate, he has also insists he’s capable of serving four more years.

Speaking to PBS, Biden says he will always be completely honest with the American people. #trending #featured
