Former Vice President Joe Biden is healthy enough to undertake the duties of the U.S. presidency, his doctor said on Tuesday in a health report released by the Democrats campaign.
Biden, 77, is one of 15 Democrats seeking their partys nomination to run against Republican U.S. President Donald Trump next year in a battle in which the incumbent and the top three of his would-be opponents are all septuagenarians.
Biden, who suffered a brain aneurysm in 1988, has no symptoms of similar problems, and while his heart beats irregularly, he is completely asymptomatic, said Dr. Kevin OConnor, who teaches medicine and directs the Executive Medicine program for George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates.
The former vice president is taking anticoagulant medication for his heart and Crestor for high cholesterol, OConnor said. He has had no cancer other than localized, non-melanoma skin cancers, due to extended exposure to the sun as a younger man, nor any history of diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension, angina or any neurologic disorder, the doctors report said.
Vice President Biden is a healthy, vigorous, 77-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief, OConnor wrote.
OConnor has been Bidens physician since 2009, when he was assigned as physician to the vice president, the report said.

WAIT!!
...WHY did he go to the doctor in the first place???
What is the REAL problem???
(Just acting like them if it were Trump..)
Don’t see anything there about his brain
Lol
I used to remotely work with GE in Danbury. Knowing some of our leaders, they may have had residual effects...lol
Just a little foot in mouth disease. Chronic.
But his doctor isn’t of sound mind.
What the doctors said is: “Joe Biden is a sound as a Ukrainian Hryvnia.”
Did Biden bribe him?
Must have the same doctor as Ruth Buzzie Ginsburg, who can bench press Elena Kagan,
His health hasn’t got that much to do with his lack of fitness for the office.
LOL...re "residual effects"!
It was JFK who ruined the men's hat business; though the disgusting dregs of the earth, the Hippies, didn't help that industry any either, since they never dressed properly and subsequent generations more or less stopped doing so as well.
‘Healthy’ is one thing but ‘fit’ is another
I’m a few months younger than Biden. I compare myself to Biden and Sanders and others in the aging process. Biden seems to be slowing down mentally when I compare him to others our age.
Well played sir!
Doomsday Machine was on last night here.
Interesting! I always wondered why the Indiana Jones fedora went away. Those stinking hippies!? Now the hippies run the country (except for Trump and the good conservatives)
At his age and with all the symptoms he has displayed, he should undergo a complete cognitive series of tests.
And says Rooters, that paragon of truth.
