White House Physician Reveals Biden Health Issues
President Joe Biden's struggle with neuropathy in his feet and a stiffened gait persists, according to White House Physician Kevin O’Connor following the president’s annual physical examination.
These health issues may contribute to his challenges in maintaining stability, evident in at least five instances of tripping, tumbling, and stumbling throughout 2023.

Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at George Washington University, speculated on a potential connection between Biden's physical health and cognitive function.
“Some neurologists have told me that this gateway — your feet are kind of glued to the floor — is more consistent with fluid on the brain or possibly not enough blood flow to areas of the brain,” he shared in an interview with Fox News on Thursday.
“I’m not saying he has that; I haven’t examined him. But we didn’t see any imaging of the brain, MRI, and again, no cognitive testing," he added.
Public scrutiny over Biden's cognitive abilities has increased due to his frequent memory lapses, Siegel noted.
A recent Quinnipiac poll revealed that 67 percent of voters believe Biden is too old to seek a second term.
The survey also gauged opinions on Biden's physical and mental fitness for another presidential term: Physical fitness: 35 percent of respondents believed he is fit, while 62 percent disagreed. Mental fitness: 34 percent believed he is mentally fit, while 64 percent disagreed.
Previously, several lawmakers called for Biden to undergo a cognitive test, including former President Donald Trump.
He posted on Truth Social, insisting, “Crooked Joe Biden must take a Cognitive Test. Maybe that way we would be able to find out why he makes such terrible decisions. I took two of them, and ACED them both (no mistakes!). All Presidents, or people wanting to become President, should mandatorily take this test!”
