US President Joe Biden does not want to undergo an independent medical examination to prove to voters that he is fit to serve four more years as president. He said this in a 22-minute interview on "ABC" on Friday, which was conducted by presenter George Stephanopoulos.

He has a cognitive test every day, Biden said, referring to his daily duties as president. "Every day I had tests. Everything I do." He has not become more frail, but is "still in good shape". He is constantly examined by his doctors and they do not hesitate to let him know if there is a problem.

Referring to the disastrous performance in his TV duel with his likely challenger in November's election, Republican former President Donald Trump, Biden said he had not listened to his instincts when preparing.
