JAKARTA - The health condition of US President Joe Biden after a poor performance in the presidential election debate is in the spotlight. The White House has repeatedly emphasized that the candidate from the Democratic Party is fine.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Biden would speak with lawmakers and Democratic Party governors on Wednesday, July 3, to address their concerns before traveling to the state on the battlefield this weekend.

Biden will be in Wisconsin on Friday and Pennsylvania on Sunday, Jean-Pierre said. In addition, Biden will deliver a press conference at the NATO summit next week held in Washington.

"We will go there. Across the country, Americans will see for themselves," Jean-Pierre said.

But during a briefing that lasted nearly an hour, Jean-Pierre, who was defensively defensive, repeatedly faced difficult questions about Biden's overall fitness to duty.

"First of all, I want to say that we understand this concern," Jean-Pierre said.

"We understand. The president doesn't have a fun night (during the presidential election debate), as you all know," he added.

"But I will say this, and the president has said this in recent days, of course right after the debate: He knows how to do his job," Jean-Pierre said.

"And he knows how to do his job not because he said it, because his record proves it," he continued.

Jean-Pierre said it was a "bad night" 13 times when he reiterated Biden had the flu.

Jean-Pierre was also asked directly about the president's health record and whether anything was hidden from the public.

"Not at all," he said.

Kevin O'Connor, president's doctor, said after Biden's physical examination in February, Biden was called a healthy, active and strong 81-year-old man, who remained fit to carry out Presidential duties successfully.

Jean-Pierre has also been repeatedly asked if Biden will release the results of a mental health test.

The medical team said it was not justified in this case. We have submitted a thorough and transparent annual report on his health. So, they say it is not justified. That is not necessary. Once again, we understand, we understand We don't take what you all see, what the American people see. We understand, it was a bad night," he said.
