At 81 years old, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, is in good health and fit to carry out his position, although in the last year he has had to incorporate a sleep apnea treatment machine which he uses every night.

According to the annual report released by the president’s official physician, Kevin O’Connor, Biden “feels well and this year’s physical examination identified no new concerns.” “President Biden is a healthy, active and robust 81-year-old man, who remains in a position to execute successfully the functions of the presidency,” says the medical report, sent to the White House and provided to the press by the spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre.

This report comes at a time when Biden’s health and his ability to run for reelection as a Democratic candidate is being strongly questioned, and even another report, that of the prosecutor who investigated Biden for alleged mishandling of classified documents, noted that the president has a quite impaired memory.
