Joe Biden says there’s no need for him to take a formal cognitive test to prove his abilities to lead the nation … claiming his involvement in daily world issues should be enough to show he’s up for the gig a second time around.
In a full ABC special Friday, Biden fought hard to defend himself from his rough June 27 debate performance … explaining to George Stephanopoulos he was just down with a serious bout of cold — so bad he took a COVID test.

While he says he didn’t end up having COVID, Joe insisted exhaustion also played a part in his performance. He also admitted he didn’t listen to his instincts in terms of preparing — so looks like a variety of things contributed to his bad night.

But as for the longstanding concerns about his mental state, Joe was adamant a great team of doctors travel with him everywhere and constantly evaluate him. He said the consensus was that he’s still in good health … so he sees no need to undergo a full medical evaluation.

George wasn’t buying it … firing back with questions about him being behind in the Presidential race. But Joe told him it was the same case back in 2020, and he still won … and was planning on doing the same thing this year.

Also, Biden took a few shots at his opponent Trump’s performance during the debate … calling him a liar and pointing out numerous false statements he made — continuing to insist nobody was more qualified to be President than him.
