Should Biden remain the Democratic presidential nominee?
Lifelong Democrat voter Daniel Kotzin and former Democrat Cata Truss react to President Biden's first sit-down interview post-CNN Presidential Debate on 'Fox News @ Night.'
A top neurologist at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center met with President Biden's physician at the White House earlier this year, White House records show.
Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson's disease expert, met with Dr. Kevin O'Connor and two others at the White House residence clinic on Jan. 17, records first reported by the New York Post show.
The report comes as the 81-year-old president faces increased scrutiny over his age and mental acuity in the wake of a halting and stumbling debate performance on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. John E. Atwood, a cardiologist at Walter Reed, also attended the 5 p.m. meeting, according to White House visitor logs. The fourth person in attendance has not been identified.
White House visitor logs show the specialist visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue at least 10 times since 2022, nearly always visiting the White House Medical Unit (WHMU). The unit is large and services thousands of military personnel.
Reached for comment, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said: "A wide variety of specialists from the Walter Reed system visit the White House complex to treat the thousands of military personnel who work on the grounds."
The Jan. 17 meeting happened on the same day Biden was at the White House and hosted House and Senate leaders to discuss Ukraine funding, the president's schedule shows.

O'Connor said Biden was "fit to serve" as president after performing a physical examination in February.
"President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency," the physician said at the time.
Biden's physical included a neurological exam which specifically ruled out Parkinson's disease, O'Connor said.
