President Joe Biden’s campaign spokesperson dismissed Donald Trump’s demand for a drug test prior to Thursday’s debate as a “silly” tactic that doesn’t sit well with voters—and noted that the former president made the same request when matched up against Hillary Clinton eight years ago.
Adrienne Elrod, after being asked by CNN anchor Boris Sanchez on Tuesday to respond to Trump’s attack, chalked it up as evidence that the presumptive GOP nominee is struggling to find a winning campaign issue.
“I mean, I don‘t even really know what to say about that. I worked on Hillary Clinton‘s campaign. She had also debated him very effectively. He accused her of being on drugs. President Biden defeated Donald Trump twice in previous debates,” Elrod said.
