Report: Joe Biden Suffers Injury; Heads to Doctor

Former Vice President Joe Biden reportedly suffered an injury Sunday and will be seeing an orthopedist soon. According to a pool report, he twisted his ankle when playing with his dog Major, a German shepherd.

An update from Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, who says the PEOTUS sustained a sprained ankle: “Initial X-rays are reassuring that there is no obvious fracture and he will be getting an additional CT for more detailed imaging.”

During the election, the Biden campaign was at great pains to emphasize his physical fitness, to counter perceptions that he would be too old for the job at 77 years old (78 today). For example, they showed him riding his bicycle — to the delight of the media — even though he rarely left his home in Wilmington, Delaware, to campaign.
