Kabul: Ex-White House doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson is demanding that President Joe Biden take a cognitive test or drop out of his newly announced 2024 race altogether.
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.
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.”
The White House has repeatedly defended Biden and his health.
