    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has tried to address questions about President Joe Biden's health. During a Monday news briefing, Jean-Pierre said the president has only seen a neurologist three times while in office, and those visits were in conjunction with his annual physicals. Biden’s terrible performance at the June 27 presidential debate has raised concerns about his age, health and ability to lead the federal government. Visitor logs show that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist who has conducted research into Parkinson’s, went to the White House eight times over the past four months. Biden’s physician said in a letter late Monday that Cannard treated multiple patients at the White House for a wide array of neurological issues.

      U.S President Joe Biden is standing firm, telling his party he's staying in the presidential race and calling for unity. But as questions about his fitness for the office arise, Biden’s health dominated a White House press briefing.
