The Issue: President Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos following the presidential debate.
President Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos about Joe’s disastrous debate raised the question whether Biden had undergone a neurological evaluation (“Prez: I was sick and tired,” July 6).
The question was not directly answered by Biden, who said a test was not required of him. It is time the Democratic Party demands such a test. They need to give him a prompt date so they can determine whether he is fit to serve a second term.
For a long time the party’s members, along with much of the public, have seen embarrassing gaffes from the president.
Furthermore, asked if he had watched the debate, Biden could not definitively answer yes. His condition is dangerous to the welfare of our republic.

I’m sure that Stephanopoulos, as a staunch Democrat, was hoping that Biden would somehow redeem himself from his debate debacle, but Biden continued his litany of bizarre excuses and unintelligible ramblings.
When asked what it would take for him to withdraw his candidacy, Biden said only “if the Lord Almighty came down and said, Joe, get out of the race” would he step aside.
Well, Joe, the Lord gave you 81 years — and possibly dementia. He’s telling you to get out of the race, but it seems you’re just not listening.

This interview was another failure by the mainstream media. All Stephanopoulos had to say was “Democrats demanded that former President Trump take a cognitive test, and he complied. Why can’t you take a test?”
Biden has suffered two aneurisms in his life — he should take a neurological test.

In Biden’s interview, he said he had “just had a bad night” during the debate.
Now that he appears basically nonfunctional after 9 p.m., he would have a really bad night if, say, China invaded Taiwan between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
In the business world, every paid position has a detailed job description and the qualifications needed to do the job. We need to update the qualifications for the office of president: You should be able to pull an all-nighter every once in a while.

Nobody has to be a master chef to know the ham and eggs are burning: It’s clear President Biden isn’t running on all cylinders. It was only a matter of time before the coverup was exposed.
The ABC interview showed a person in denial of his decline and therefore his resistance to undergo testing that would reveal the true nature of his illness.
Americans may be able to accept physical limitations, like those of President Franklin Roosevelt, who ran the country for nearly 12 years in a wheelchair. But mental deficiencies are another matter altogether.
Now the intervention process in underway by members of his own party: some concerned about their own survival, and others urgently concerned about the country. We can only hope the intervention works.

Unfortunately, President Biden’s denial that he needs cognitive testing is endangering his health.
If the Democratic Party cares about Biden, it needs to take the decision of running for office out of his hands and find a replacement.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos was right to ask Biden whether he would take a cognitive test, but he failed to ask a most important follow-up.
That would be regarding Biden releasing his medical records and tests from the last three years, instead of the short summaries.
If Biden refused, we would wonder what he was hiding. Or a treasure trove of medical documents would potentially become available for experts to evaluate.
Unfortunately, the public will never know Biden’s true neurological condition until that happens.
