"I took two tests, cognitive tests. I aced them. Both of them. As you know, we made it public. He took none," Trump told Biden onstage at last week’s debate. "I'd like to see him take one, just one. A real easy one, like go through the first five questions, he couldn’t do it." 

Earlier this year, the White House released the results of a physical exam Biden took at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, declaring that he is a "healthy, robust 81-year-old." 

In a release from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the physician for the president, said Biden was determined to be fit to "successfully execute the duties of the presidency." 

"President Biden is a healthy, active 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief," the release said.

"I'm just gonna say what Dr. O'Connor said to me about a year ago when [Biden's physical] was released," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at the time. "The president proves every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks, by dealing with world leaders, by making difficult decisions on behalf of the American people – whether it's domestic or it's national security."
