President Biden will transfer power to Vice President Kamala Harris Friday morning for the “brief period of time” when he is under anesthesia for a “routine” colonoscopy at Walter Reed Medical Center, the White House said Friday.
The President traveled to Bethesda, Maryland, for a physical exam, one day before his 79th birthday. Biden arrived at 8:51 a.m. ET and waved to reporters who were traveling with him.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden will also undergo a colonoscopy while there.
