President Joe Biden announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he would not seek re-election in 2024 due to concerns about his age and fitness. With Biden out of the race, attention turns to Donald Trump, who, at 78, is also facing questions about his age and fitness. There is a lack of transparency around the health of presidential candidates, with personal physicians providing selective information. Calls for standardized, transparent assessments of candidates’ physical and mental health have increased. In light of this, forming a non-partisan standing medical commission to assess and report on presidential candidates’ fitness is proposed. Such a commission could help ensure transparency and accountability in the election process.
