Former President Donald Trump suggested on Monday that President Joe Biden should submit to a drug test before this week’s debate, building on his unfounded claims that his rival in the November presidential election would be “all jacked up” on illicit substances when they meet in Atlanta.
“DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN???” Trump wrote on his Truth Social media platform. “I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!”
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who served as White House physician under Trump, re-upped calls for Biden to take a series of drug tests this week, saying he had “no choice” but to ask about it. The congressman has claimed, without evidence, that Biden would be dosed with unnamed drugs to improve his performance while he is preparing at Camp David this week for the debate with Trump on Thursday.
