Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has suggested that President Joe Biden should take a cognitive test following concerns over his mental fitness, particularly after a lackluster debate performance in June. Whitmer stated that it 'wouldn't hurt' for Biden to undergo such a test, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the president's cognitive abilities.
While acknowledging Biden's subpar debate showing, Whitmer defended his commitment to serving the American public and dismissed calls for him to step aside from the 2024 campaign. She highlighted the contrast between Biden's focus on others and former President Donald Trump's self-centered approach, urging unity within the Democratic Party.
