Biden Undergoes Annual Physical at Walter Reed

President Biden underwent the third physical exam of his presidency on Wednesday amid concerns over his age as he campaigns for a second term.

Mr. Biden, 81, traveled to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., for his annual physical, according to the White House, and spent about two and a half hours inside Walter Reed. The White House is expected to release a summary of Mr. Biden’s physical later on Wednesday.

“They think I look too young,” Mr. Biden joked as he answered questions from reporters at a round table with law enforcement officials at the White House on Wednesday afternoon. “There is nothing different than last year,” he said, adding that “everything’s great.”

Events over the past few weeks have cast a spotlight on Mr. Biden’s age.

And Mr. Biden has made unforced errors at events, including recalling interactions with foreign leaders who would have been dead at the time those interactions took place.

Trump, who is four years younger and who makes a number of untrue, exaggerated or outright false claims at each of his public appearances.
