President Biden addresses the nation from the Oval Office for the first time since dropping out of the 2024 race. After President Joe Biden’s address to the nation Wednesday night, multiple doctors shared their opinions with Fox News Digital about his perceived health status based on his live speech. Seated in the Oval Office, the president spoke relatively briefly about his withdrawal from the 2024 race and his commitment to continuing to serve the country for the next few months.
He did not mention his recent COVID-19 infection , ongoing concerns about his cognitive health, or the recent assassination attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump. AFTER BIDEN DROPS OUT OF RACE, DOCTORS REVEAL WHY THE DECISION MAY HAVE BEEN BEST FOR HIS HEALTH Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical contributor — who has never treated the president — noted that Biden seemed to be reading from a teleprompter on Wednesday night, as he often does, making it difficult for those watching to gauge his medical fitness.
Although Biden stumbled over his words a few times, Siegel was more concerned about the president’s apparent "lack of emotion."
