The most notable health event for Biden over the past year was his infection with COVID-19 in the summer, said O’Connor, adding that the president, who has received the bivalent vaccine, has not experienced any residual symptoms.

The oldest U.S. president in history, Biden is expected to announce his 2024 reelection bid in the coming months.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley have launched their campaigns for the Republican Party’s nomination to challenge Biden.
