Joe Biden’s doctor met with a leading Parkinson’s disease specialist at the White House earlier this year, it has emerged, amid ongoing questions about the US president’s health.
Dr Kevin O’Connor, Mr Biden’s physician, met with Dr Kevin Cannard, a top neurologist, on Jan 17 and Dr Cannard has visited the White House a further seven times in the last year.
The White House has denied that Biden has a degenerative mental condition, and the president himself has said his debate performance was just “a bad night”. The 81-year-old acknowledges that he does not talk as “smoothly” as he used to, but says he remains at the top of his game.They show that Dr Cannard also met with Megan Nasworthy, an official who liaises with the Walter Reed Medical Centre, in March.
In an interview with ABC News on Friday, he said only the “Lord Almighty” could tell him to stand down from the campaign, stressing the importance of beating Donald Trump in November’s election.
