Thursday, the president gave a nearly one-hour press conference, answering questions ranging from his age to his administration's handling of the conflict in Gaza. He reiterated that he does not plan to step aside and insisted he needed to"finish the job" he has been doing the last four years. The president pushed back on the suggestion that he is slowing down or cannot handle the demands of the job.
“My schedule has been full bore,” the president declared. “So if I slow down and I cant get the job done, that’s a sign that I shouldn’t be doing it. But there’s no indication of that yet — none.” Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden had undergone three neurological exams while in the White House as part of his annual physical exams — and no more — and said the president has not been diagnosed with or treated for Parkinson’s.
