The Biden campaign rejected public calls for President Joe Biden to take a drug test before Thursday’s presidential debate on CNN, despite polls showing support for drug testing for both candidates.
Trump floated the proposal on Tuesday, posting to Truth Social: “Drug test evil Joe Biden??? I’m in for it in a heartbeat!”
Biden campaign spokesman Adrienne Elrod was quick to dismiss the request as if it were completely absurd, despite growing concerns about Biden and his mental health, especially after a viral video showed him looking particularly disoriented.
“I don’t really know what to say about that. I worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign and she debated him very effectively as well. He accused her of using drugs,” she said.
