Does President Biden pass the cognitive test?

White House denies President Biden memory lapse report, following a report that questioned the President’s mental competency.

The White House blasted a report that suggested President Joe Biden was suffering memory lapses, and Vice President Kamala Harris called the report “clearly politically motivated.”

The report from Special Counsel Robert Hur, a former U.S. attorney in Maryland during Republican Donald Trump’s administration, has prompted an election-year brawl and renewed questions about Biden’s advanced age.

The issue of mental competency has become a major topic in this year’s presidential campaign, as Biden, 81, and Trump, 77, are the two oldest men to have been elected president.
