Trump’s comments set the stage for the upcoming debate against President Biden, where he plans to highlight the challenges facing the nation and Biden’s perceived shortcomings, such as struggling to communicate effectively. Trump suggested drug tests for the debate, alluding to Biden appearing “high as a kite” during a recent speech.
In response, the White House dismissed Trump’s remarks as attempts to distract from Biden’s successes and confidence. Biden’s team emphasized Trump’s inability to negotiate and compete with Biden’s accomplishments in infrastructure, crime reduction, and dealings with China. Polls show concerns about Biden’s age and fitness for another term, which Trump has highlighted through mockery in his speeches.
