Video: Trump In Minnesota In Rare Form – Says He Will Debate Biden And Has Only One Request That We Can All Agree On
As the race to the White House intensifies, former US President Donald Trump said that his archnemesis Joe Biden should be “drug tested” ahead of the two crucial presidential debates. Both the presidential candidates for the upcoming 2024 US Elections have already agreed to participate in the highly anticipated debates.
The business-mogul-turned politician cited the incumbent’s State of the Union address and claimed that Biden was “high as a kite” while delivering the speech. “I just want to debate this guy, but you know – and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump told a charged-up gathering during a speech at a GOP dinner in St. Paul, Minnesota.
I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite,” the presumptive GOP nominee for president added.

Biden, 81, spoke loudly and at a fairly rapid clip during his lengthy address.
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.), co-chair of the GOP Doctors Caucus, alleged after the speech that Biden “must have been jacked up on something that day.”
Trump, 77, has previously called for Biden to be drug tested.
In 2020, he argued that Biden’s debate performances during the Democratic primaries had been “uneven,” and said he would be “strongly demanding” a drug test before their debates ahead of the 2020 general election.
Neither candidate ended up taking a drug test before their two 2020 debates.
Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.
