Biden health concerns persist as he makes first appearance after ending campaign
Fox News
President Biden left Delaware on Tuesday, his first public appearance since being diagnosed with COVID-19 on July 17. There has been an emphasis on the president’s health in recent weeks.
"His walking on the stairs looks fine, better than usual, but it's strange that he didn't say hello to anyone," Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical contributor, told Fox News Digital. "All his energy went into walking." "By stepping down, President Biden can prioritize his health and potentially mitigate further cognitive decline." Melissa Rudy is senior health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to melissa.rudy@fox.com.
The president is headed to Washington, D.C., where he is scheduled to make a speech to the American public on Wednesday night.
