During a Sunday Morning Futures interview with Maria Bartiromo, Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, said that he intends to demand that Biden take a drug test immediately before and after Thursday’s first general election presidential debate.

Jackson served as the White House physician during the Obama and Trump administrations before he was elected to Congress in 2020. He has called for Biden to “submit to a cognitive test” five times since then.

Jackson pointed out that Trump willingly took cognitive tests during his presidency, but that all his requests to the Biden administration “have gone completely ignored.”

He told Bartiromo, “So tomorrow I’m sending a letter to President Biden, to his physician, Dr. O’Connor, and I’m cc’ing his entire Cabinet.”

He continued, stating, “It’s embarrassing that I have to do this, and it’s really embarrassing as a former White House physician to have to do something like this, but we don’t have any choice based on what’s going on, but I’m gonna be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that he submit to a drug test before and after this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs.”

Jackson cited the difference between the Joe Biden that Americans saw during the State of the Union address and the Biden we see “on a day-to-day basis for the last three and a half years.”

Jackson said that there was no explanation “other than that he was on something, that they’ve given him medications.”

Jackson speculated that part of Biden’s debate prep at Camp David was “experimenting with, you know, just getting the doses just right,” pointing out that “they have to treat his cognition, they have to give him something to help him think straighter, they have to give him something to wake him up, you know, for his alertness.”

Jackson noted that Biden “has been agitated,” which he said was “a common symptom or sign of this cognitive disorder that he seems to be suffering from.” Jackson added that Biden’s team will likely “give him something to take the edge off that as well.”

On multiple occasions, President Trump has said that he would demand Biden take a drug test ahead of the debates.
