‘Cause for Concern’: CNN Medical Analyst Tells Jake Tapper Biden Should’ve Been Tested Post-Debate

Since the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle, there has been nonstop talk about whether President Joe Biden will remain the Democrat nominee or be replaced by Kamala Harris or one of the numerous vultures waiting in the wings, such as Govs. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), Gavin Newsom (D-CA), or Josh Shapiro (D-PA). 

Now, CNN is adding fuel to the fire as a neurosurgeon, and CNN medical reporter Sanjay Gupta says medical professionals would unanimously advocate for testing Biden post-debate. 

Jake Tapper: What was your reaction to the debate? What did you think as a doctor?”

Sanjay Gupta: Well, there was concern. I think from the go, frankly. … There was cause for concern. Stumbling of speech, sort of confused rambling at times, and then also motor symptoms. You know, lack of expression in the face. None of those things are diagnostic of anything, I just want to be clear about that. But in the aggregate, they are flags. … Unanimously, from the medical professionals I’ve heard, they would advocate for testing based on what they saw at that debate.

During a separate segment on his show, Tapper called out Biden for his continuous gaffes while denying reality. 

He’s proud to be the first black woman? Not coherent. … It remains quite telling that in the Biden campaign’s efforts to show that the President has not missed a step, his campaign felt the need to feed questions to the hosts for a call-in radio interview, and the President still even then failed to deliver in many of his answers.

It only took the mainstream media five years to realize that Biden is not up for the job to be commander-in-chief and that his mental acuity is nowhere near what it was a decade ago. It’s sad to say, but it’s the reality we are facing. 

The only network that seems to be praising Biden at this point is MSNBC, which is basically a wing of the Democrat party, so there is no surprise there. It remains to be seen whether the DNC will expedite nominating Biden to put the replacement chatter to rest or if Biden will be the nominee heading into the Democrat National Convention.
