Rep. Earl 'Buddy' Carter, R-Ga., has written a letter to the White House urging President Biden to undergo a cognitive assessment due to concerns about his mental state and ability to fulfill his presidential duties. Carter, a pharmacist, expressed 'serious concern' about Biden's cognitive state and his capacity to execute the responsibilities of the Presidency.
A recent report from The Wall Street Journal highlighted instances of Biden's alleged cognitive decline, including struggling to remember details, mixing up names, and showing signs of poor cognitive performance in private meetings. These concerns have led Carter to call for transparency regarding the President's ability to lead effectively.
Carter emphasized his experience as a consultant pharmacist, noting that he has observed cognitive decline in patients over time, which he believes is evident in Biden's behavior. The letter to the White House underscores the importance of a President possessing strong cognitive abilities to safeguard the interests of the American people.
While the White House has dismissed criticisms of Biden's mental acuity as politically motivated, Carter and other Republicans have continued to raise concerns about the President's age and mental fitness. Calls for Biden to undergo a cognitive test have intensified, with comparisons to former President Trump's cognitive assessment.
Former President Trump has also called for Biden to take a cognitive test, citing concerns about his mental sharpness. The debate over Biden's cognitive abilities has become a focal point ahead of the upcoming presidential election, with demands for transparency regarding the President's mental health.
Carter's letter urges the President to undergo a cognitive test promptly and make the results public to reassure the American people about his mental and intellectual health. The ongoing debate surrounding Biden's cognitive state underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in assessing the fitness of the nation's highest elected leader.
