BREAKING: White House confirms Biden uses CPAP machine for sleep apnea after strap marks seen on his face

The White House has now stated that President Joe Biden uses a CPAP machine for sleep apnea after strap marks appeared on his face from the device. 

Andrew Bates, White House spokeman, said in a statement to Bloomberg, "Since 2008, the President has disclosed his history with sleep apnea in thorough medical reports. He used a CPAP machine last night, which is common for people with that history."

Indications of the device were seen on his face Wednesday morning and a report from 2008 showed that he has had trouble with sleep apnea in the past.

The poll found that 68 percent of voters are "concerned that Biden doesn’t have the necessary mental and physical health to be president." This is opposed to the 55 percent who have concerns over the health of Trump.
