80-year-old Biden to get medical checkup before the upcoming 2024 Election

A routine medical checkup will be completed by Joe Biden on Thursday which is an important step for the oldest-ever president of the United States before he flights for reelection in 2024.

The White House has confirmed that it will be releasing the report made by the president's doctor, similar to the way his previous checkup was done in 2021.

This time, with the Republican 2024 campaign already taking off, people will scrutinise the report more closely.

Despite receiving bad poll ratings, Biden has expressed his intent to run again, increasing the chances of a rematch of his predecessor Donald Trump, who has already announced his candidacy.

"That's my intention, I think, but I haven't made that decision firmly yet," he stated in a PBS interview.

The last checkup of Biden was on November 19, 2021, when the president underwent a complete examination, which included a colonoscopy under general anaesthesia.

For the period of one hour and 25 minutes, he transferred his powers to Vice President Kamala Harris, as she became the first woman to hold the presidential prerogative in the history of the United States.

Biden's doctor Kevin O'Connor had earlier presented him as a healthy man who is fit to carry out his presidential duties.

However, he also pointed out his relatively minor signs of old age, and noted a stiffer gait of Biden, stating that it is a mild nerve condition which affects the feet.

Connor also mentioned the frequent cough Biden suffers due to gastroesophageal reflux. Biden does not drink or smoke and plays sports and never had any major health concerns after he went through brain surgery in 1988.

Last July, he tested positive for Covid-19 but did not suffer any serious disease.

Joe Biden's Background

Joe Biden is an American politician who currently serves as the 46th President of the United States. He was born on November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Biden earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware and then attended law school at Syracuse University.

Biden served as a United States Senator from Delaware for 36 years, from 1973 to 2009. During his time in the Senate, he chaired several committees, including the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on the Judiciary. He also served as the Vice President of the United States under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017.

Biden ran for President of the United States in the 2020 election, and he won the Democratic Party's nomination. In the general election, he defeated the incumbent President, Donald Trump, and was inaugurated as President on January 20, 2021.

As President, Biden has focused on a wide range of issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, economic recovery, climate change, racial justice, and foreign policy. He has proposed and signed into law several pieces of major legislation, including the American Rescue Plan, which provided economic relief to individuals and businesses affected by the pandemic, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which provides funding for various infrastructure projects.

In addition to these legislative efforts, President Biden has also taken executive action on several issues. He has signed a series of executive orders related to COVID-19, including a national mask mandate on federal property, and he has rejoined the Paris climate agreement. He has also taken steps to address racial justice and equity, such as issuing an executive order to promote racial equity in federal government programs and policies.

President Biden has emphasized the need for unity and bipartisanship in his administration, and he has sought to reach across the political aisle to work with Republicans on issues such as infrastructure and immigration. However, his administration has faced significant opposition and criticism from Republicans on a range of issues, and his ability to pass major legislation remains uncertain.

Overall, President Biden faces significant challenges as he leads the United States through a period of ongoing economic, social, and political upheaval. However, he has shown a commitment to addressing these challenges and has proposed a wide range of policy initiatives to address them. Only time will tell how successful he will be in implementing his vision for the country.
