Trump campaign rips Biden after former president's mental acuity called into question

The Trump campaign slammed the White House and the Biden campaign for calling former President Donald Trump's mental acuity into question.

"Never in history has a debate resulted in a candidate’s own donors and surrogates pondering whether their candidate should stay in the race, until now," Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital.

The comment comes after the White House and Biden campaign questioned former President Trump’s fitness to serve, a response to questions that continue to swirl around President Biden’s mental acuity.

Asked during a news conference Tuesday if Biden had Alzheimer’s or any form of dementia, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said "no" while hinting that the "same exact question" should be asked of the "other guy," referring to Trump.

Biden continues to face widespread skepticism about his ability to win the election and serve another term as president in the wake of a disastrous debate performance last week, resulting in many calling on the president to step aside and let a younger candidate take over at the top of the ticket.

The Biden campaign has acknowledged the president’s poor performance but pushed back against the idea he would drop out of the race, arguing Biden still has the ability to lead and is the party’s best chance at defeating Trump.

The campaign has also begun calling Trump’s cognitive ability into question, citing times the former president has confused who he was talking about.
