In an open letter written by Dr. Biden to the athletes of Team USA, she wrote in part, "Your entire nation is cheering you on and we are grateful for what you've given us: the chance to come together in common awe and appreciation for your accomplishments and the shared joy of rooting for our country on the edge of our seats."

This past April, Dr. Biden underwent what the White House described was a "common medical procedure." She "tolerated the procedure well," communications director Elizabeth Alexander said at the time.
