During a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=of7GyrZSkaE&amp;t=731s\">press briefing<\/a> on Thursday, she was confronted by a reporter who asked about Biden\u2019s seemingly persistent cough.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Biden appeared to struggle to shake off his cough during his speech at the White House. However, Psaki dismissed those concerns.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Reporter:<\/strong> Many of us more in the East Room watching the President. We\u2019ve seen him on many occasions where he has a repeated cough. What is the situation with that cough and is it a concern?<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><em><strong>Psaki:<\/strong> It\u2019s not a concern. We have a doctor who travels with him, obviously who checks in if it is ever warranted. And certainly that becomes the case as it has been since the beginning of his presidency.<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><em><strong>Reporter<\/strong>: Is there an explanation as to why he coughs so frequently in situations like that? I\u2019m sure you saw it.<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><em><strong>Psaki:<\/strong> I did. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s an issue of concern. I think there are a range of reasons why we may need to clear our throat or may have a little light cold. And that\u2019s certainly something that presidents elected officials, reporters, spokespeople can confront, but it\u2019s not an area where we have a medical concern.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>This comes as a growing number of health experts have voiced concern about Biden\u2019s cognitive and physical well being.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/white-house-offers-nicki-minaj-call-with-doctor-to-discuss-vaccine\/\">White House Offers Nicki Minaj Call With Doctor To Discuss Vaccine<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden stopped multiple times during a Monday speech to clear his throat, prompting a response from some social media users.
