Story

In recent developments at the White House, it has been revealed that a top neurologist specializing in Parkinson's disease, Dr. Kevin Cannard from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, visited the White House eight times in eight months, including meetings with President Biden's physician. The White House confirmed that President Biden has been seen by a neurologist once a year as part of his annual physical checkup, with no signs of Parkinson's or ongoing treatment for it. Dr. Cannard's visits have sparked speculation about President Biden's health, especially after his recent debate performance raised concerns about his cognitive abilities. Despite calls from some Democrats for him to step back from the 2024 election, President Biden has refused to take a cognitive test and emphasized his commitment to running for reelection to defeat Donald Trump. The White House visitor logs also revealed meetings between Dr. Cannard and other medical professionals at the White House residence clinic, further raising questions about the purpose of these visits. President Biden's mental state has faced increased scrutiny, with ongoing gaffes and statements fueling speculation about his cognitive abilities and overall health. While the White House has downplayed the significance of these visits and emphasized the routine nature of medical consultations for the president and White House staff, the ongoing discussions surrounding President Biden's health have become a focal point in the political landscape. As the debate over his fitness for office continues, President Biden remains steadfast in his determination to continue his campaign for reelection, despite growing concerns and calls for transparency regarding his health.
