When pressed about the president's health during a press briefing on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explicitly told reporters that Biden has not had any medical exams since his last annual physical.
"Has the president had any medical exams since his last annual physical in February?" CNN's Min Jung "MJ" Lee asked.
