Biden 'fit for duty' after medical, says doctor

Joe Biden's doctor says he is "fit for duty" and "no new concerns" have been identified after the US president's annual medical examination.

Mr Biden, whose health has been under scrutiny ahead of November's presidential election, underwent the assessment on Wednesday.

White House physician Dr Kevin O'Connor said that Mr Biden "fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations".

"Everything's great," Mr Biden said.

The 81-year-old president received the physical at a military hospital in Maryland and declared himself "squared away" after the appointment.

He said the results were "nothing different than last year" and quipped that the doctors "think I look too young".

Mr Biden, whose last physical was in February 2023, is "healthy" and "vigorous" and "continues to work out at least five days per week", according to his doctor.
