Former President Donald Trump on Friday urged President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test amid mounting scrutiny of his mental acuity and fitness to serve.

"Joe should immediately take a Cognitive Test, and I will go with him, and take one also. For the first time we’ll be a team, and do it for the good of the Country….And from now on, all Presidential candidates should be mandated to take a Cognitive Test and Aptitude Test, regardless of their age!!!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

Biden has faced calls from within his own party to step aside as the Democratic nominee in the wake of his disastrous debate performance in which he often stumbled over his answers and appeared lost on stage.

Ahead of the debate, Trump suggested that he and Biden take a drug test, saying "DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!"

Biden has resisted calls for him to drop out of the race and insisted “I wouldn’t be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024."
