Some observers fear that Biden’s physical state may be representative of his mental state. Thirty-eight Republican lawmakers, along with Donald Trump’s former White House physician and now-Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), wrote a letter in February to Biden, demanding that he take a cognitive test for fear that he may have Alzheimer’s disease.
Noting Biden’s “changes in mood and personality” and “forgetfulness,” the lawmakers said Biden’s cognitive ability has been declining and “is not just a recent trend” but has become more apparent “over the past two years.”
It is unknown whether Biden has undergone cognitive testing.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe Biden should receive cognitive a test. Less than 25 percent of voters strongly believe Biden is mentally fit, healthy, and stable.
Fifty-four percent of adults think Biden is not mentally sound enough to serve as president. Just 29 percent of Americans believe President Joe Biden will pursue a second term in 2024.
