First Lady Jill Biden has slammed concerns about her husband’s mental competency as “ridiculous” in response to presidential hopeful Nikki Haley calling for such tests to be administered to political candidates above the age of 75.
“Ridiculous,” she told CNN in an interview due to air later today, pointing to the president’s recent travel schedule and his surprise visit to Kiev in an effort to dismiss such worries.
“How many 30-year-olds could travel to Poland, get on the train?” she asked.
“Go nine more hours, go to Ukraine, meet with President Zelensky? So, look at the man,” added Biden.
I’m sure most 30-year-olds could accomplish that.
When asked if Biden should take a mental capacity test, given that he will be 81 years old by the time he takes a second term in office, the First Lady responded, “We would never even discuss something like that.”
