White House now says Biden was seen by his doctor days after debate
2024-07-06
[AOL] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created... by the — you know — you know, the thing...

...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
presidential debate, the White House tells CNN — despite the White House press secretary having said Wednesday that the president has had no medical exams since his February physical.

"Several days later, the president was seen to check on his cold and was recovering well," White House front man Andrew Bates said.

On Wednesday, CNN had asked Karine Jean-Pierre in the White House press briefing whether the president had received "any medical exams" since his February physical, and the press secretary had responded: "We were able to talk to his doctor about that and that is a no."

A White House official adds when Biden was seen by his doctor after the debate, it was a "brief check," not a "physical." CNN on Wednesday did not ask Jean-Pierre whether Biden had had another physical since February, but rather, any medical examination.

Politico first reported that Biden told more than 20 Democratic governors in a private meeting Wednesday night that he underwent a medical checkup after last week’s debate and is fine.

The White House’s explanation Thursday that Jean-Pierre said Biden had not had any medical exams since February because she was drawing a distinction between the president being checked out by his doctor and receiving a formal "physical" does not appear to explain a different exchange from the same briefing on Wednesday.

Jean-Pierre was asked by a news hound to clarify whether the president had been checked out by his doctor around the debate given that he had a cold.

"He was on the way to the debate, the doctor was with him, he had a cold, he’s 81. Does he not get checked out by the doctor?" the news hound asked.

#3  Joe’s doctor saw him at the debate, but then he turned the channel and finished watching the baseball game.
