Biden hasn’t seen neurologist outside annual physicals, White House doctor says in letter addressing Parkinson’s expert visits

President Joe Biden has not seen a neurologist outside his annual physicals, White House physician Kevin O’Connor said in a letter released Monday night addressing visits to the White House by a Parkinson’s disease expert.

The visits by the expert, Dr. Kevin Cannard, had raised questions that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had left largely unanswered earlier in the day. Biden has been on the defensive trying to reassure Americans and Democratic lawmakers that he can run and win after a poor debate performance last month.
