Biden will look guilty if he doesn’t comply.
Former President Trump has called for President Biden to undergo drug testing prior to their first debate.
“I’m going to insist on a drug test too, by the way,” Trump stated during the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner on Friday. “I am, no I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union, where he seemed extremely alert.”
Trump has previously expressed similar sentiments in a radio interview, claiming that Biden appeared unusually energetic at the start of his State of the Union address, suggesting he was “higher than a kite.”
Both Trump and Biden have swiftly agreed to two presidential debates, scheduled for June and September on CNN and ABC. With just over a month remaining until their first debate, the anticipation is building.
“They need to be fair, I think they need to be fair, and if they’re not, you have to handle it,” Trump remarked at the dinner.
Representative Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) echoed Trump’s sentiments on Thursday, implying that Biden appeared unusually energized during his March State of the Union address.
“I was present during the State of the Union address, and Joe Biden seemed extraordinarily energetic that day. From a medical perspective, and based on some information I have, I believe he was on something,” Murphy stated. “Given his usual demeanor, it’s hard to imagine him standing and speaking coherently for that long under intense lights.”
These comments highlight the contentious atmosphere leading up to the debates, with Trump questioning Biden’s performance and suggesting external influences on his demeanor. The upcoming debates promise to be closely watched, with both candidates under intense scrutiny.
