President Biden is facing renewed calls for a cognitive test from Republican members, intensifying concerns over his mental fitness. The push comes in the wake of a report by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who characterized Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson led the charge, citing the report on Biden’s handling of classified documents as evidence of his alleged unfitness to serve. The White House had earlier announced that Biden would not undergo a cognitive test as part of his upcoming physical examination.
In response to the growing calls, Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, formerly Trump’s Chief Medical Adviser, emphasized the importance of scrutinizing Biden’s cognitive abilities. Jackson referred to the special counsel’s report, which reportedly contained statements highlighting concerns about Biden’s memory.
The Republican push to keep the spotlight on President Biden’s mental health is gaining traction, particularly as the 2024 presidential race approaches. There are reports suggesting that even Democratic senators are expressing private concerns about Biden’s age and health, fearing potential repercussions for their party in the upcoming election.
Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson underscored the seriousness of concerns surrounding the President’s memory decline, rejecting any attempts to downplay the issue. Jackson accused the White House of attempting to conceal information regarding Biden’s mental health.
As the debate over President Biden’s cognitive fitness intensifies, the GOP’s push for a cognitive test is likely to remain a focal point, injecting a new dimension into the evolving political landscape.
