Some 50 House Republicans on Wednesday called on President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test amid questions about his fitness and mental acuity.

The letter, led by former White House doctor and current Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), said that the lawmakers are concerned with Bidenโ€™s cognitive abilities.

โ€œWe again write to you to express concern with your current cognitive state and to urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately,โ€ the letter (pdf) said. โ€œWe believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all Presidents should follow the example set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities.โ€

Making note of recent New York Times articles that have been critical of Bidenโ€™s abilities, โ€œthe increased scrutiny surrounding your cognitive state has been fueled by your recent public appearances,โ€ they wrote.

Several gaffes made during Bidenโ€™s speeches were also cited by the lawmakers, including one in which Biden said that we must โ€œkeep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaustโ€ during a July visit to Israel.

โ€œThese recent gaffes are not isolated incidents, as they are part of a larger history of your actions which exemplify cognitive decline,โ€ it said. โ€œThe Alzheimerโ€™s Association lists โ€˜changes in mood and personality,โ€™ including being more โ€˜easily upsetโ€™ as one of ten signs of mental decline. You displayed this type of mood change during a cabinet meeting on January 24, 2022, when you apparently did not know your microphone was on after finishing your opening remarks.โ€

Concerns Dismissed

The White House and Biden, 79, have dismissed Jacksonโ€™s assertions as a politically motivated attack and a publicity stunt. Jackson previously served as physician to the president under the Obama and Trump administrations.

โ€œI honestly donโ€™t care about Ronny Jacksonโ€™s โ€˜look at meโ€™ routine,โ€ White House spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox News in February about Jacksonโ€™s claims about Bidenโ€™s mental state.ย โ€œBut if yโ€™all get any mail from Nick Riviera please donโ€™t be a stranger,โ€ he said, making reference to the โ€œSimpsonsโ€ character, Dr. Nick, who often pushes inappropriate medical treatments.
