The George Stephanopoulos interview with Joe Biden is going in circles. The president has repeatedly cited his record, and the ABC News host has repeatedly asked whether he’s up to the task for the next few years.
Biden says he’s in good shape and not more frail than he once was.
BIDEN: I'm still in good shape

Biden says he has regular doctors' checkups
Joe Biden said his doctors checked on him after the debate and told him he was “exhausted”. Biden continued: “I have medical doctors trailing me everywhere I go. I have an ongoing assessment of what I’m doing. They don’t hesitate to tell me if something is wrong.”
Stephanopoulos questioned whether Biden would undergo a cognitive test.
Biden responded, “I get a full neurological test every day.”
The president declined to commit to an independent cognitive assessment.
