Scott made this statement after\u200d President Donald Trump agreed to a series of debates with\u200d Biden, scheduled to start next month.

Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has similarly called for drug tests to be performed on the two candidates, as Biden is \u201csomeone with the ability to launch nukes.\u201d Trump himself has suggested his rival conduct a drug test ahead of the debate, joking that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3009163\/trump-demand-drug-test-biden-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Biden would be so \u201cjacked up\u201d<\/a> before the debates begin.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-whitmer-media-caught-in-another-lie-anarchist-arrested-for-plot-to-kidnap-and-kill-whitmer-hates-president-trump-trump-is-a-tyrant-video\/\" title=\"Gov.
