In keeping with past practice, the White House expects to release a written summary of the findings later in the day. Various medical professionals participate in the president’s care led by the White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor.

Two aides are traveling with the president to Walter Reed on Marine One: Annie Tomasini, assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff; and Dilpreet Sidhu, special assistant to the president and National Security Council deputy chief of staff.

Aides said there is no expectation of any need to transfer authority while Biden is undergoing the examination.

Former President Donald Trump and Republicans have been highlighting Biden's age on the campaign trail and have questioned his abilities to continue serving as president.
