Joe Biden, in a news conference two weeks to the day after his debate against Donald Trump spurred questions about his mental fitness, said he would take a neurological exam if his doctors deemed it necessary—while also suggesting that Trump take one.
In one of his final answers to reporters, the 81-year-old president insisted that his age is not an issue—even though polls have shown that voters think otherwise.
“The only thing age does is help you—creates a little bit of wisdom if you pay attention. And so the point I am making is, I think it is important that I—if my neurologist tells me he thinks I need another exam. By the way, I’ve laid every bit of the record out. Haven’t hidden a thing,” Biden said. “You ought to ask Trump for his, okay?”
