US president-elect Biden injured while playing with dog
US president-elect Joe Biden has a foot fracture and will likely have to wear a medical boot, his team said Sunday after the 78-year-old was taken to the doctor because he had slipped while playing with his dog.
Biden, who will become the oldest US president upon his January swearing-in, suffered the injury Saturday with Major, one of his two German shepherds..
The president-electās personal physician Kevin OāConnor initially said x-rays had not uncovered any āobvious fractureā, but added that an additional CT scan would still be done.
That scan āconfirmed hairline (small) fracturesā¦ in the mid-foot,ā OāConnor said in a subsequent statement released by Bidenās office.
He added that the former vice president, who won election against Donald Trump in November, āwill likely require a walking boot for several weeksā.
With both Biden and Trump in their 70s, age was an issue in the presidential race, even if it often took a backseat to pressing matters like the Covid-19 pandemic.
Trumpās health was briefly of intense concern when he caught Covid-19, but the president resumed campaigning after getting a series of treatments ā including an experimental antibody cocktail.
Trump, a famously finicky germophobe, was the first president in over a century to not have a dog.
The Bidens fostered and then adopted Major in 2018, while Champ has been with the family since 2008.
Biden officials have said Major will become the first rescue dog to live in the White House.
