Dr. Kevin Cannard’s Frequent Visits in White House Visitor Log
Dr. Kevin Cannard of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center visited the White House eight times from July 2023 to March 2024, according to official White House visitor records obtained by the New York Times. It remains unclear whether the visits by Cannard, a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders, were about Biden’s health or were part of general White House meetings.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates did not provide details of Cannard’s visits, but said that specialists from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center make routine visits to the White House to treat military personnel.
Bates also emphasized that Biden was examined by neurologists once a year, and that these check-ups have not found any signs of Parkinson’s disease.
First Live Stream Controversy and Criticism
In the context of the presidential elections to be held in the USA on November 5, Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden and his Republican opponent Donald Trump faced each other in the first live debate broadcast on CNN on June 27.
Biden, 81, has struggled to assuage concerns about his age and has faced intense criticism following the debate, with some Democratic supporters and media outlets calling for him to drop out of the presidential race.
Biden, on the other hand, admitted that his health condition was not as it was in the past and stated that he was the best option against Trump and that he would not withdraw from the race.
Democratic Congressman Lloyd Dodgett called on Biden to withdraw from the presidential race on July 2, becoming the first Democratic Congressman to make such a call.
