Biden's doctor affirms President's mental acuity amidst his reelection decision
Washington D.C.: Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the physician to President Joe Biden, defended the President's mental acuity on Thursday, describing it as "excellent." This statement comes shortly after Biden announced his decision not to seek reelection, a move that surprised many.
In an encounter with the New York Post on the White House driveway, O'Connor was asked about the health of the 81-year-old President. "It's excellent," O'Connor responded. When questioned about whether this might change before the end of Biden's term, O'Connor replied, "I hope not."
The New York Post further inquired about the President's mental cognition. "It's excellent," reiterated O'Connor, who has not briefed the press since Biden took office more than three years ago. When asked why no cognitive test had been performed, O'Connor stated, "We don't need to. He's here every day."
Speculation had arisen concerning a possible connection to Parkinson's disease following reports that an expert on the condition visited the White House eight times over eight months, meeting at least once with Biden's physician. However, O'Connor dismissed these rumors, affirming, "No, he's good."
Earlier this month, the White House refuted claims that Biden was being treated for Parkinson's, describing such assumptions as "incorrectly assumed and insinuated."
Biden's decision to step down came after a challenging debate with Republican candidate Donald Trump on June 27. He officially withdrew from the race on Sunday, citing concerns over his mental acuity and health. Biden is the first U.S. President to step down so late in the election cycle and under such circumstances.
Vice President Kamala Harris has assumed the position, becoming the first woman Vice President in American history. Her nomination is set for August 19 during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Rape accused's mother murdered by victim's brother in MP's Shivpuri
Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.
A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.
Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
