Biden repeatedly dodges questions about whether he'd take neurological test: 'No one said I had to'

President Biden three times dodged questions about whether he'd take a neurological test in one of the more contentious moments of his first sit-down interview since a widely panned presidential debate performance last week.

"I get a full neurological test every day with me," Biden replied. "I've had a full physical. … I've been to Walter Reed for my physicals."

Stephanopoulos again pressed the president about taking a neurological test, and Biden again ducked.

"Have you had the specific cognitive tests, and have you had a neurologist, a specialist, do an examination?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"No, no one said I had to. … They said I'm good," Biden responded.

Stephanopoulos pressed Biden a third time on taking a cognitive or neurological test, and if the president would agree to take one, asking if Biden then would release the results of such a test to the public. The president, however, brushed off the question by saying he is tested every day in his role as president.

"And every single day — for example, today, before I come out here — I'm on the phone with the prime minister of … Well anyway, I shouldn't get into detail, but with Netanyahu.
