Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer recently stated on Wednesday that it “wouldn’t hurt” for President Biden to take a cognitive test via NY Post.
It has been noted that Whitmer acknowledged that the assessment would be a good idea in an interview Wednesday and despite the octogenarian president denying that there’s a need for him to undergo such testing.
“I don’t think that it’d hurt, to be honest,” Whitmer told CNN in response to a question about Biden taking a mental acuity test.
The White House has been haunted with questions regarding Biden’s mental abilities since the June 27 debate, when he appeared to be confused and stumbled over his responses at times.
Polls showed that a majority of Americans are concerned about his mental fitness — and an increasing number of congressional Democrats and close allies are calling for him to drop out of the 2024 race.
The president has tried to alleviate concerns about his age by sitting down for an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. However, his performance there spurred even more allies to call on him to drop out.
Whitmer, a Democrat who has been a fierce supporter of Biden and is rumored to be a potential replacement if the president were to choose to suspend his campaign, also admitted that “the first presidential debate was not a success for President Biden.”
Whitmer said that Democrats need to continue to rally behind Biden while he’s in the race if they want to defeat former President Donald Trump.
“We can’t lose sight of how high these stakes are. We have a field. And unless one person, Joe Biden, makes an alternative decision, this is the field, and we’ve gotta go.”
