Joe Biden,2024 Presidential Election,Healthcare,James Comer
House Republicans on Sunday demanded that President Biden’s personal physician explain whether he can provide “accurate and independent” assessments, citing his reported refusal to order a cognitive test for the 81-year-old president and other matters related to the Biden family.
The House Oversight Committee “is investigating circumstances surrounding your assessment in February of this year that ‘President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old-male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency,’” Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) who chairs the committee, wrote in a letter on Sunday to Kevin O’Connor, the physician to the president.
