Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign released his medical report on Tuesday, showing that he's healthy and can safely continue to challenge people to pushup contests.

The 2020 Democratic presidential candidate's doctor, Kevin C. O'Connor, has been his personal physician for years. In the report, O'Connor said Biden is a "healthy vigorous 77-year-old male who is fit to execute the duties of the presidency." Biden weighs 178 pounds and is 5 feet, 11.65 inches tall. He does not smoke or drink alcohol, and "works out at least five days per week."
