Rep. Earl L. ‘Buddy’ Carter Calls for President Biden to Undergo Cognitive Test Amidst Mental Health Concerns
Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) has written to White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients to urge for a cognitive test for President Biden due to growing concerns about his mental fitness. In his letter, Carter draws on his expertise as a consultant pharmacist to highlight signs of cognitive decline that he has observed in patients. He notes that the President’s behavior aligns with what he has seen in individuals experiencing mental decline and forgetfulness.
Carter expresses concern that the President’s mental state could be creating a leadership vacuum that compromises the competence required for the role. He calls for the President to undergo a cognitive test immediately and share the results with the public, emphasizing the importance of transparency in assessing the mental and intellectual health of the President to reassure the American people about their safety and security. Carter’s letter aims to address growing concerns about Biden’s mental state and provide clarity for the public.
