The White House on Friday said President Biden had a “verbal check-in” with his doctor about the cold he had during the debate, after telling reporters earlier in the week that he did not get a medical exam — and had not had once since his yearly physical in February.
Early into the president’s debate performance, during which he spoke in a soft and raspy voice and often struggled to complete sentences, the White House at the time said Biden had a cold.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had been asked earlier this week if Biden had seen his doctor about the cold, which was blamed on foreign travel, but she said no.
But on Friday, Jean-Pierre changed her response, telling reporters Biden had a “verbal check-in” when asked about reports that surfaced indicating Biden told a group of governors he had a checkup.
“He did have a short verbal check-in in the recent days about his cold. It wasn’t a medical exam or a physical, I want to be super, super clear about that. It was a conversation, and his doctor didn’t think an examination was necessary,” she said.
On Wednesday, Jean-Pierre responded “no” when asked if Biden had any kind of medical exam. She also said “no” when asked if the president had any medical exams since his last annual physical in February.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s lead doctor, released the results of the president’s annual physical in February and said the president is “fit for duty.”
Jean-Pierre also stressed that Biden has medical professionals around him due to his role as president.
“The president has doctors, a medical unit around him 24/7, and that’s not because of this president, that’s all presidents,” she said.

Hitler had a helpful doctor too.
What a tangled web we weave when we set out to deceive.
“doctor didn’t think an examination was necessary”
Quack, quack, quack!
Biden didn’t have a cold during the debate.
Had a cold, he was tired, had jet lag, too much debate preparation, etc.... Anything else?
0bama Care is restricting access even at the White Old Folks Home?
He had a phone consultation with some Joe schmo doctor who was covering a WH shift. No examination needed, cuz Joe is often just like this. He hasn’t ever had a REAL cognitive exam, because we know he would never pass it.
Which one attended the debate? He should be fired.
As another poster said in regards to Biden’s supposed cold affecting his debate performance:
“I’ve never had a cold that made me an idiot”
Clearly
Obvious
Lying
Dotard
.
Thank you!
No cold makes you speak gibberish and slur your words. My God, how stupid are people
VERBAL CHECK-IN. Sounds like O.J.
Was this verbal check in with a teleprompter?
What about Dr feel good who is it they need to ask about that one or is it Hunter
I’m surprised a dr isn’t automatically called to exam any potus when sick.
No call required. A medical unit is there 24/7. They all missed it - 24/7?
The gaslighting is in overdrive. I believe even a couple of percent of Demonrats don’t believe the stories. Bless their hearts.
Complete fabrication. Which no one in the DNC owned press disputes. Yes, they want him out, but no, they won’t call him a liar.
