President Trump has challenged Joe Biden to take a drug test before their June 27th debate on CNN.
Trump, in a statement on Truth Social, wrote, “DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN???”
“I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!” added Trump.
Trump’s challenges come as rumors are swirling that Biden’s medical team has been pumping him up with drugs to stay alert at speaking events.

Check out what The New York Post reported:
Former President Donald Trump demanded Monday that President Biden undergo a drug test before Thursday’s first presidential debate — days after predicting that his rival would be “jacked up” on the CNN stage.
ADVERTISEMENT“DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!” Trump, 78, wrote on Truth Social after he and his allies had repeatedly suggested that Biden, 81, will be medicated during the Atlanta forum.
Biden has been sequestered since last week at the Camp David presidential retreat in western Maryland, leading to dark suggestions from Republican circles about what the incumbent’s debate preparation may entail.
“There is no universe in which [Biden’s] not being medicated before the debate. If he wants to dispel that, he should offer to take a drug test, but we all know he won’t do that,” one Trump ally told The Post.
“I think it’s a fair question worth asking,” added campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. “If Biden wants to prove otherwise, why didn’t he commit to a drug test?”

Trump’s former White House physician has also called for Biden to take a drug test.
Per The Hill:
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) said Sunday that he will send a letter requesting President Biden take drug tests before and after Thursday’s debate against former President Trump.
Jackson, who served as Trump’s White House physician and medical adviser, also claimed in a Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures” interview with Maria Bartiromo, without evidence, that Biden has been taking “performance-enhancing drugs.”
“I’m going to be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that [Biden] submit to a drug test before and after this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs,” Jackson said. “Because we see — we have seen recently in his State of the Union address — that there was a Joe Biden that came out that was not similar at all to what we see on a day-to-day basis for the last 3.5 years.”
“And there’s just really no way to explain that, other than he was on something, that they’d given him medications,” he continued.ADVERTISEMENT
