While they did not make a diagnosis, they recommended that Biden undergo detailed testing to assess any potential issues. Gupta highlighted specific indicators, such as slow response time and rambling speech, that suggest a problem for the 81-year-old president. Despite the White House attributing Biden&#8217;s performance to fatigue and illness, Gupta emphasized the importance of further investigation to determine the cause of these symptoms. He also suggested that Biden undergo the same cognitive assessment that former President Donald Trump took.
