President Joe Biden has recently stirred controversy by resisting calls from a blend of lawmakers, commentators, and medical professionals, both Democrats and Republicans, to undergo a cognition examination. This follows a past debate with ex-President Donald Trump where the latter seemed disconnected and struggled to articulate words and phrases neatly. During a pre-recorded ABC News conversation with George Stephanopoulos, a former aide to Bill Clinton, the President dismissed any thoughts of retiring from his role, asserting his readiness to stay in office for another four years.

In that same interview, President Biden rejected suggestions that his performance in the debate was below par, instead alleging that Trump was the one disrupting his focus during their verbal duel. According to the President, his etiquette, respecting the rules when his speaking time was due, was misinterpreted as his weakness. The White House, reechoing Biden's sentiments, added that the President was feeling unwell and fatigued due to several consecutive trips to Europe, despite having spent over a week in Camp David preparing for the debate.

Interestingly, the President has also disclaimed that he evaluated his performance post-debate. Moreover, when probed on whether he would step down if credible parties recommended him to, he artfully dodged the question but stated half humorously that he would resign if ordered by a divine voice.

On the other side of the spectrum, one of the stalwarts from the Democratic party, usually seen rallying behind Biden, has shown alliance with the Republicans on insisting that Biden undertake a cognitive assessment. This echoes the precedent set by Trump when he voluntarily underwent a cognitive test during his tenure and made the results public.

CNN's principal medical reporter Dr. Sanjay Gupta, last Friday, advocated that President Biden should undertake broad-ranging cognitive and neurological evaluations. Sharing his professional perspective through an op-ed on CNN's website, Dr. Gupta, an accomplished neurosurgeon, expressed apprehensions about Biden's health – both mentally and physically – fueled by the President's impaired performance during the debate with Trump.
