Rep. Rich McCormick, a Republican from Georgia and a doctor serving on the House Armed Services Committee, recently discussed questions he would pose to President Biden's physician if called to testify before Congress regarding the president's fitness to serve.
McCormick expressed concerns about the cognitive health of President Biden, questioning the types of cognitive tests and imaging that have been conducted. He specifically mentioned the possibility of Lewy body dementia, although he has not personally examined Biden.
McCormick highlighted what he perceives as a rapid deterioration in Biden's condition, stating that one does not need to be a doctor to observe these changes. He also acknowledged the internal strife within the Democratic Party, with some members calling for Biden to step aside from his re-election bid due to concerns about his electability.
Despite the challenges facing Biden, McCormick believes that the president could weather the calls for his withdrawal if he chooses to remain in office. He pointed out that Biden currently polls better than Vice President Kamala Harris and emphasized the party's division.
According to McCormick, Biden's ability to communicate effectively and promote his agenda has been called into question, with criticisms about his coherence and articulation.
As the debate over President Biden's fitness to serve continues, it remains to be seen how these concerns will impact his presidency and the upcoming election cycle.
