President Biden's advisors reportedly decided against having him take a cognitive test in February 2024, according to a new book cited by the New York Times. The book claims that the decision was made out of concern that the results of such a test would only amplify existing questions about the president's cognitive abilities.
The issue of President Biden's age and mental fitness has been a recurring topic of discussion in political circles. Some critics have pointed to instances of verbal stumbles and perceived lapses in memory as evidence of cognitive decline. Supporters, however, argue that such incidents are normal for someone of his age and that he remains sharp and capable of fulfilling his duties.
The book's claims are likely to reignite this debate, prompting further scrutiny of the president's public appearances and statements. The White House has yet to comment on the specifics of the book's allegations. It remains to be seen how this revelation will impact the upcoming election cycle.
