Ex-White House doctor Jackson demands Biden take cognitive test or drop out of 2024 race

Sure it's the first political salvo, in the 2024 race so take it with a bag of salt, as it ain't gonna happen but...

Here's my thing I think all candidates need to take a cognitive test, a psychology test, a Constitution test, the same test immigrants have to take for citizenship, whatever testing anybody can determine or indicates thier ability to be an effective President. Wouldn't it be nice to have as much information? If we really want to select the best President. No doubt there is a mega block of voters that just vote for the status quo, eschewing the devil they don't know, for the devil they do.

Pretty sure a few tests might have made Nixon less of a factor in our history. Besides, I felt the same way during Reagan's 2nd Term.

Ex-White House doctor Ronny Jackson demands Biden take a cognitive test or drop out of 2024 race.

Biden’s criticism of 63-year-old opponent’s age resurfaces as he launches 2024 bid at 80

Add Senate candidate Joe Biden to the list of people whose comments could be a problem for President Joe Biden as he seeks a second term in the White House.

The 80-year-old Mr Biden is mounting a historic re-election bid that would, if successful, see him once again become the oldest person to ever take a presidential oath of office, beating the record he previously set in 2021.

But as a new investigation from CNN’s KFile unit revealed on Tuesday, the president once attacked a political opponent quite explicitly with the same angle that Mr Biden’s detractors, particularly those in the GOP, both used in 2020 and likely will again in 2024: His age, and mental fortitude.

The comments were made during Mr Biden’s successful 1972 run against then-Senator Cale Boggs; Mr Boggs, just 63 years old at the time, was at the time expected to win his re-election bid easily but narrowly fell to the 29-year-old Mr Biden when the votes came in.

“Cale doesn’t want to run, he’s lost that old twinkle in his eye he used to have,” Mr Biden said during one campaign appearance dug up by CNN.

His ads were similarly focused on the subject of his opponent being out of touch due to advanced age, according to CNN: “In Cale Boggs’ day when Stalin ruled, Americans had visions of the Russian soldiers in our streets. In Joe Biden’s day, Americans have visions of American criminals in our streets. Joe Biden, he understands what’s happening today.”

Ex-White House doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tx.), is demanding that President Joe Biden take a cognitive test or drop out of his newly announced 2024 race altogether.

Jackson, who was a White House physician during both the Trump and Obama administrations, added that the “American people deserve complete transparency on the mental capabilities of their highest elected leader.”

Jackson, who has repeatedly questioned whether the 80-year-old president has the cognitive ability to be commander-in-chief, renewed calls for a mental evaluation as Biden announced Tuesday he was seeking re-election.

The Republican made the demands in a letter, obtained by The Post, which is currently being circulated among House Republicans in a bid to garner support before it is sent to Biden.

“We call on you to either resign immediately and renounce your bid for reelection or submit to a clinically validated cognitive screening assessment and make those results available to the public,” the letter, which is addressed to Biden, says.

In the letter, Jackson insisted a cognitive test was required given Biden’s age, his various public gaffes and recent polls that show Americans are concerned about his mental function.

“When you first announced your bid to run in the 2020 presidential election, questions and concerns were raised surrounding your cognitive abilities,” the letter says.

“Those concerns have only increased because your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent since you were elected.”

As a White House physician during 2 administrations his opinion carries weight with me. Tho I don’t see any kind of independent cognitive testing in mr Bidens future.

Well since there will be no DNC debate, its all up to the media
to show him in a competent light, which of course they will do.

Any other candidate would be out after his daughters diary
revelations, but since the media has made Pedo's acceptable
even that won't do it.

I think any GOP candidate could beat him, but then there is the
issue of the massive vote fraud organization he brags of.

I'd be willing to bet a new more lethal type of covid will hit when presidential debates are about to start. There is absolutely no way in hell that Biden could take the stage with any GOP nominee and win a debate....absolutely none.

a reply to: burntheships

Yes there will be DNC debates.
Probably not any republican debates though.
Trump today even said he doesn't want to participate in any debate.

a reply to: Allaroundyou

Wrong. Even mainstream media is reporting that the DNC has "no plans for primary debates"


No Primary Debates? The Democratic Party Looks More Soviet By The Hour

It doesn't really matter if they do test him or not because they will give you the results that they want you to see.

a reply to: FamCore

Well this is the first I am hearing of this.
I believe 2012 was the last time they called off debates while big O was running for his 2nd term.
Well either Trump again doesn't want to debate.
Go figure it's because people say mean things about him and he has thin skin.

Hopefully Joe Biden will decline faster and faster as we get closer to November 2024.

Example: Biden will record a Happy Easter message and post it to the White House website on December 24th.

Dangerous for Enemies to see, but fun for us to watch.

Well...ultimately we could see this happen and have Kamala replace him for nominee. Kinda a half incumbent. She's already a good puppet.

a reply to: Allaroundyou
Wow

Well either Trump again doesn't want to debate.

Really?
Orange Cheeto cotton candy hair doesn’t want free publicity?
Really?
That is about the most ridiculous thing I have read here today.
Huzzah!!

Indeed, crazy enough the Covid Emergency was just
put back in place after ending it two days ago.

Joes favorite sayings:

"What am I doing?"

Considering he actually said today on his truth social profile that he doesn't want to debate.....
So ya I guess you think what he said is ridiculous.
Not what I said.
I find it odd that such hardcore Trump lovers you guys don't pay much attention to what he says.
Well that's on you

Provide a source please as the DNC has NO plans for primary
debates, essentially propping up the dementia patient.

In response to news that the Democratic National Committee has no plans to host any Democratic Party primary debates in the upcoming election cycle, Twitter owner Elon Musk declared that his platform will support the campaign messages from all 2024 presidential candidates.

Saying you don't want to is quite different from your organization stating you won't.

But hey....looks like you guys will only be able to choose Joe and Kamala so you should be happy about no debates!

a reply to: Vasa Croe


I highly doubt they will go through not having debates.
Time will tell I guess.
If Trump doesn't debate this will be his third presidential run and 2nd time not debating.
Not a good look

I don’t do “the truth social” that you are referencing, would you be so kind to quote the tiny handed mushroom owner?
Did the rnc cancel their debates also?

Edit:
You know what
Never mind
I found his offering, it doesn’t actually say what you say it says.
Typical

a reply to: putnam6

He can demand, and we can agree with him all we want.

But everyone should know by now that this regime doesn't care about what the people want or demand.

Our elections are a sham, the justice system is completely weaponized against any resistance to the regime. The republic is lost. They will not be relinquishing power.

Don't be surprised if they cancel the 2024 election entirely.

a reply to: Allaroundyou

Trump is not the Candidate.

Joe is.

Please try to make an accurate comparison.

a reply to: carewemust

They wouldn't let him post directly even if he was capable.

I'm sure there's a whole three tier team in charge of doing that for him
