Ronny Jackson on Biden mental fitness: ‘He’s got significant issues’

Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, criticized President Joe Biden’s fitness for the role, calling it a national security concern and referencing past letters requesting a cognitive test. White House officials and the president’s allies dismissed attacks on his mental sharpness, noting Republican bias in criticisms and Democrats’ evaluations of Biden’s performance. Jackson has repeatedly asked Biden to undergo a cognitive test. The Texas representative and former White House physician sent five unanswered letters to the White House since Biden’s term began in 2021.
