Biden will receive his annual physical at Walter Reed Medical
Center in Bethesda, Maryland, she said, adding more details
would be released later.
He is scheduled to return to the White House later on Friday to
continue with his presidential duties, including the ceremonial
pardoning of a turkey ahead of next week's U.S. Thanksgiving
holiday, before later leaving for his home state of Delaware for
the weekend.
At 78, Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, is the oldest person to
take office as president in U.S. history. Although there has
been speculation about whether he will run for re-election in
2024, he has said he expects to seek a second term alongside
Vice President Kamala Harris.
