On the campaign trail, you often forgot the names of states that you were in for campaign rallies. The Alzheimer\u2019s Association points out \u201cconfusion with time or place\u201d as another of the ten signs and symptoms of mental decline. 4 In February 2021, you publicly forgot the purpose of your visit to survey the winter storm damage in Texas.5 In March 2021, you forgot the name of the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, and the Defense Secretary.6 Lastly, in May 2021, you told a story from your tenure as Vice President in which you stated that you regularly visited your sick mother via Amtrak in 2013, even though she passed away in 2010.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In closing, the letter requests Biden undergo a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test, which Donald Trump underwent. \u201cMOCA is a simple screening tool to identify early signs of mental impairment,\u201d the letter explained. \u201cThe test is best administered when a person or their loved ones \u2018start noticing mental decline.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;<\/em>and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gettr.com\/user\/wendellhusebo\">Gettr<\/a>&nbsp;@WendellHuseb\u00f8<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thirty-eight Republican lawmakers on Wednesday demanded President Joe Biden take a cognitive test upon fears that he may have Alzheimer\u2019s disease.
