The Republican presidential candidate challenged the president of the nation to undergo a drug test prior to the debate that both will hold this Thursday and assures that he would also undergo one to demonstrate the cleanliness of his body.

Frequently, The New York tycoon and his supporters have suggested that Joe Biden could be turning to a performance-enhancing drug during relevant events where he is required to deliver a message or speech.

For this reason, the nation’s president has been required to prove the opposite by presenting the results of some anti-doping test. However, the White House has rejected the proposal, considering it unnecessary.

Some days ago, Ronny Jackson, representative of Texas, sent a letter to the head of the nation and his doctor, with an even more controversial challenge.as it required the 81-year-old Democrat to undergo drug testing before and after his exchange of ideas with Trump, which the latter described as a great success.

“Ronny Jackson was a brilliant doctor, an admiral and now a GREAT congressman. He is absolutely right about what is written in this MUST READ article, but, unfortunately, nothing will be done about it,” he noted in another message written on the same platform.

Without an audience involved, Biden and Trump will meet again after almost four years in what represents a crucial moment for their political aspirations, since a false step by anyone could send a bad signal to the citizens and this would mean heading towards an early defeat.

For now, Most polls agree that the 78-year-old New Yorker is the favorite to win the ballot. in front of the president of the nation.

The Hill/Decision Desk HQ gives him a slight lead of 1.6%, but with a high number of citizens undecided about who to support on the ballot.

Another significant fact is that the participation of Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. as an independent presidential candidate in the race is up in the air, as he continues not to meet the requirements that would allow him to add his name to the electoral ballots of the 50 states.

The presence of the former Democrat in the elections would take more votes away from Biden than from Trump and in such a close race, that could be a transcendental factor in defining the winner.
