President Joe Biden on Wednesday evening told more than 20 Democratic governors in a private meeting that he underwent a medical checkup after last week’s debate and is fine, according to three people with knowledge of the discussion.
During an hour-long meeting prompted by intensifying concerns about his health and political viability, one governor asked Biden about his physical condition. The president mentioned having had a checkup in recent days and asserted that he remains in good health, knocking on wood for effect, according to two of those people, who were granted anonymity to describe a private meeting.
That statement came just hours after press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sidestepped direct questions from reporters who asked if he’d been examined since the debate.
“The president has regular annual physicals that we release in a thorough report,” she said. “We’re going to continue to do that.”
Biden’s remark, according to a person familiar with the president’s schedule, was in reference to a short checkup by a White House physician in the days following the debate due to lingering symptoms from his cold. The exam, that person added, was brief and did not include any major tests.
Does this address the concerns about Biden’s health satisfactorily?
No. Biden needs to face reality. He’s just too old. He’s in very good health for his age. But he needs to let it go.

LOL.
No. Not "check up" is going to allay the concerns.
He needs to have a live interview with a true journalist.... not some influencer or late night host.... and perform well.
He needs to have a press conference where he is free to call on reporters who are not prescreened and doesn't tell them that he is "going to get in trouble" for answering questions. No list of preapproved reporters for him. And, he needs to perform well.
In a nutshell..... he needs to do what other modern day presidents have done.

KJP said he has not had a check up since his February physical.
Who is lying?
