Joe Biden is the oldest sitting president to govern the United States. Many concerns have been raised as to whether he can finish the job, as that is the mission of Biden’s 2024 campaign. The first lady, Jill Biden, defended her husband in a CNN interview, saying, “How many 30-year-olds could travel to Poland, get on the train? Go nine more hours, go to Ukraine, meet with President (Volodymyr) Zelenskyy? So, look at the man. Look what he’s doing. Look what he continues to do each and every day.”
The president himself offered a similar sentiment. He does not fault people for the age concerns and admits if there were an issue, he would be transparent. Sitting down with PBS, Biden declared, “I would be completely thoroughly honest with the American people if I thought there was any health problem, anything that would keep me from being able to do the job. … so we’ll see. But, you know, I just — I think people have to just watch me.”
Despite concerns, the medical professionals say Biden is physically well. The White House physician released a February 2023 health summary, which stated, “President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-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.” We all trip occasionally — sometimes, it’s off your bike, going upstairs, or from a randomly placed sandbag.
