US President Joseph Biden said he underwent a medical examination after a debate with former President Donald Trump.
The American publication Politico reports this, citing three sources.
How Biden said he passed a medical examination
According to the report, last night at a closed meeting with more than 20 Democratic governors, the US President said that he had undergone a medical examination after the debate and was feeling well.
The publication’s sources also reported that when asked by one of the governors about his health, the American leader said that he was in good health and knocked on wood.
As Maryland Governor Wes Moore reported, Democratic governors, despite concerns about the unsuccessful debate, promised to support the incumbent president. California Governor Gavin Newsom also expressed his support.
The American media agree that the US President’s performance at the first debate with Trump was unsuccessful.
Biden did not always formulate his thoughts clearly, he stammered, paused, and after the debate, the television camera caught the moment when his wife helped him down the stairs.
Now journalists and politicians say Democrats could replace Biden. Theoretically, such an opportunity will exist at the August Democratic National Convention, but in practice it will be difficult to remove Biden, who won the primary election, from the presidential race unless he withdraws himself.
At the same time, Biden’s campaign says that he does not intend to leave the race. According to some information, he may be nominated as a presidential candidate as early as July 21, without waiting for the Democratic Party congress, thus putting an end to the debate about the advisability of his participation.
The second Biden-Trump debate will take place on September 10, with the election on November 5.
Earlier it was reported that Hungary chairs the Council of the European Union.
