President Joe Biden was examined by his physician in the days following last week’s CNN presidential debate, the White House tells CNN — despite the White House press secretary having said Wednesday that the president has had no medical exams since his February physical. “Several days later, the president was seen to check on his cold and was recovering well,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said. We’ve all had colds, and so no, he was not checked out by the doctor.”CNN has asked the White House for an explanation. The White House and campaign have insisted the president is not considering ending his campaign. Jean-Pierre did not mention travel fatigue and jet lag as factors for Biden’s poor debate performance in Tuesday’s White House briefing.
