<p>A reporter pressed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday on why President Joe Biden continues to cough as he did earlier in the day.</p>
<p>&#8220;Many of us were in the East Room watching the president. We’ve seen him on many occasions where he has a repeated cough,&#8221; NBC&#8217;s Kelly O&#8217;Donnell said. &#8220;What is the situation with that cough? And is that a concern?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s not a concern,&#8221; Psaki claimed. &#8220;We have a doctor who travels with him, obviously, who checks in if there is — it is ever warranted. And certainly, that continues to be the case, as it has been since the beginning of his presidency.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Is there an explanation for why he coughed so frequently in situations like that?&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell asked. &#8220;I’m sure you saw it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I did. I don’t think it’s an issue of concern,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;I think there are a range of reasons why we may need to clear our throat or we may have a little light cold. And that’s certainly something that presidents, elected officials, reporters, spokespeople can confront, but it’s not an area where we have a medical concern.&#8221;</p>
<p>Later during the press briefing, a different reporter asked Psaki if she had an update on when Biden was planning on getting a physical.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know this is an understandable question. I don’t have an update,&#8221; Psaki responded. &#8220;He will get one soon. And when he does, we will make sure you all are aware of it and get the information.&#8221;</p>
