Republican Representative Ronny Jackson of Texas, who served as the White House physician under former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, suggested on Sunday that President Joe Biden should undergo a drug test before his upcoming debate with Trump on Thursday.
Jackson shared a post on social media, accompanied by a video of his appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” where he questioned whether Biden’s performance at the State of the Union, compared to his usual demeanor, could be attributed to performance-enhancing drugs. Jackson has persistently called for Biden to take a cognitive test, expressing concern over Biden’s fitness for office.

Will we see Sleepy Joe, who lives in the White House Basement, or will we see Jacked-Up Joe who made an appearance at the State Of The Union???
The American people deserve to know if their "President" is taking Performance Enhancing Drugs!… pic.twitter.com/bAriC4LxaY
During his Fox News interview, Jackson emphasized the need for Biden to be tested for performance-enhancing drugs both before and after the debate. He noted a stark contrast between Biden’s typical behavior and his unusually vigorous performance during the State of the Union, suggesting medication could be involved.
Jackson also mentioned that Biden’s current stay at Camp David might be related to this issue, speculating that medication might be used to boost Biden’s alertness and cognitive function. In a rally in Philadelphia, Trump echoed these concerns, accusing Biden of using drugs to enhance his debate performance.
