Texas representative Ronny Jackson is making waves yet again, this time not for his medical expertise, but for his demand that President Biden undergo a drug test before and after the upcoming debate. Jackson, a former White House physician for both Obama and Trump, expressed his concerns on Fox News, highlighting the need for Biden to prove his cognitive abilities.
Jackson’s calls for a cognitive test echo his previous attempts to get Biden to undergo such an examination, all of which were ignored by the White House. The irony of the situation is palpable, considering the left’s past criticisms of Trump’s cognitive state and their reluctance to subject Biden to the same scrutiny.

The demand for a drug test specifically focusing on performance enhancers stems from Jackson’s observation of a seemingly different Biden during his recent State of the Union address. His insistence on this test is not merely a political ploy, but a reflection of the genuine concerns shared by millions of Americans regarding the president’s mental acuity.
It remains to be seen how the Biden administration will respond to Jackson’s request, but their track record suggests that they may sidestep the issue altogether. By ignoring or rejecting this demand, they risk fueling suspicions about the president’s clarity and potentially undermining his credibility in the eyes of the American people.
