CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta raised concerns about President Joe Biden’s cognitive and neurological health following his challenging debate performance. Gupta, a neurosurgeon, emphasized the need for comprehensive testing after observing Biden’s behavior during the debate, including confused rambling and a lack of facial animation. While not providing a diagnosis, Gupta urged for transparency regarding Biden’s health, highlighting the importance of understanding potential underlying conditions such as dementia.
With a history of reviewing medical records for political figures like Sen. John McCain, Gupta’s call for cognitive testing adds weight to growing concerns over Biden’s performance. Despite pushback from Biden’s aides, questions persist about his ability to lead effectively. The upcoming interview with ABC News will provide a platform for Biden to address these concerns directly.
