Biden refuses to take a cognitive or neurological test in his first post-debate TV interview
NBC News | DNC ^ | July 5, 2024 | By Megan Lebowitz, Rebecca Shabad and Monica Alba

In his first televised interview since his widely criticized debate performance last week, President Joe Biden would not commit to taking a cognitive or neurological test and releasing the results.

Biden argued that he's tested daily, referring to his presidential responsibilities.

"I get a full neurological test every day," Biden told anchor George Stephanopoulos of ABC News.

When pressed if he has had a cognitive test, the president said, "No, no one said I had to."

Some Democrats said they weren't convinced that the interview achieved the campaign's goals.

"It made me sad. Completely out of touch with reality and insulated from truth," said one House Democrat who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "I’ll be breaking my silence soon."

Another House Democrat said that "this seems like it has an inevitability to it," and yet another told NBC News, "we're doomed."

A growing number of Democrats are calling for Biden to drop out.

When a President says “no one said I had to” when asked if he had had a cognitive test then the President needs a cognitive test. LOL

I have suspected that for a long time. Just a strong hunch. And it may be a generational thing. The last lively one was in 1968, if I'm not mistaken. So it's overdue to see some intense behavior from the left.

Hang in there Sleepy Joe! The entire Biden crime family is depending on you, along with Hillary, Barak, Big Mike, AOC and the entire DNC team. They need you.

He still has enough brains to know he can’t pass a cognitive exam. This is the sad part of dementia -— when they realize they’re slipping.

Smart move. They can pay any Dr to write any diagnosis.

You could take a corpse that’s been dead for five years and it will look better than Biden

Yes, and now you feel a tiny bit of what we felt, we he illegally became president.

Why refuse? It would be a fake exam anyway.
