Jill Biden discusses mental competence tests for senior politicians.

March 5, 2023



(RT) ⸻ US First Lady Jill Biden has dismissed concerns about her husband's mental acuity after Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley called for mandatory mental capacity tests for political candidates above the age of 75. She cited Joe Biden's rigorous travel schedule as evidence of his effervescence, mentioning his recent surprise visit to Kiev. Biden has yet to confirm if he intends to seek re-election in 2024, and if he were to win a second term in Washington, he would be 82 years old on inauguration day. Senator Bernie Sanders, who is 81, also pushed back against Haley's suggestion, saying that such suggestions are "ageist" and that there are a lot of 40-year-olds out there who are competent.
