CNN’s chief medical expert calls for cognitive testing on Biden: ‘Concerned with his confused rambling'

CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta called for President Biden to undergo neurological testing so that the American people can find out if he has dementia ahead of the 2024 election.

In an article published to CNN.com on Friday, Gupta said that he and his medical colleagues became concerned about Biden’s cognitive ability during last Thursday’s presidential debate and advised that he be tested to see if his sluggish performance was just due to a "bad night" or a more serious underlying concerns.

"The consensus from the doctors reaching out to me, however, was that the president should be encouraged to undergo detailed cognitive and movement disorder testing," Gupta wrote, noting that he agreed.

The physician and media pundit spelled out what concerned him and his colleagues about Biden during that debate.

"From a neurological standpoint, we were concerned with his confused rambling; sudden loss of concentration in the middle of a sentence; halting speech and absence of facial animation, resulting at times in a flat, open-mouthed expression," Gupta wrote.

To many in the mainstream media and the Democratic Party, Biden’s debate behavior was so concerning that they pivoted from supporting his re-election to demanding he drop out of the race.

Gupta didn’t endorse any political move against Biden because of the display, he just insisted that Biden get tested so that Americans know where his cognitive health truly stands.

Before giving his advice, he mentioned Biden’s prior medical history, noting that his last official health report was a February "health summary which concluded that the president was ‘fit for duty.’"
