US President Joe Biden revealed to the more than 20 million Americans on Wednesday night Democratic Governors with whom he met privately that he underwent a medical check-up after last week’s debate with Donald Trump and is doing well, according to local media reports.

The ABCNews network and the newspaper Politico, citing sources familiar with what happened at that meeting, revealed this Thursday the conversation that Biden had with the governors in which they discussed on physical condition and health of the Democratic president.

According to Politico, the hour-long meeting was motivated by the growing concerns on Biden’s political viability in the presidential race after last week’s public debate with his rival, Republican Donald Trump, in which he looked confused and absent-minded on occasion.

Nearly a dozen governors participated in the hastily arranged White House meeting, some of them virtually.

The meeting took place just hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged direct questions from reporters about whether the president had undergone any kind of medical checkup. after the debate with Trump.

Biden’s comment at the meeting, according to a person close to the president, was in reference to a brief checkup performed by a White House doctor in the days after the debate, due to the persistent cold symptoms that he was suffering from, Politico quotes. The examination, added the person who asked not to be identified, was brief and did not include any important tests.

On July 3, just days after the debate, presidential spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press conference that Biden had not undergone a medical exam since February, when the White House made public the latest annual report on your health.

“We’ve been able to speak to his doctor about this and the answer is no,” the spokeswoman said when asked repeatedly if Biden, 81, had had another medical exam since February.

Those questions about the president’s health came after the June 27 debate. against former President Donald Trump (2017-2021), in which Biden appeared aged, with a hoarse voice and difficulty finishing some sentences and in which he said he was suffering from a cold.
