Dozens of Republican lawmakers are calling for President Biden to take a cognitive test citing a spate of gaffes they say call into question the 79-year-old’s fitness for the job.
Rep. Ronny Jackson, a Texas Republican who served as the presidential physician to Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, led fifty-four of his colleagues urging Mr. Biden to “submit to a cognitive test immediately.”
“The American people should have absolute confidence in their President, knowing that he or she can perform their duties as Head of State and Commander in Chief,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the president.
