US President Joe Biden informed Democratic governors during a closed meeting at the White House that he had undergone a medical examination after his less-than-stellar performance in a debate with former President Donald Trump.
This information comes from the Politico newspaper, which cited unnamed sources.
Biden mentioned that he had a physical exam last week and assured the governors he was feeling well, even knocking on wood for effect.
According to a source familiar with Biden's schedule, the President likely underwent a brief checkup due to cold symptoms, and it did not involve any serious medical tests.
Presidential Election Context
The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5.
Donald Trump has already secured the necessary delegate votes to be the Republican candidate.
Meanwhile, Biden, who is running for a second term, has garnered sufficient support from Democratic Party delegates.
Both nominees will be formally approved at their respective party conventions later in the summer.
