Donald Trump faces Joe Biden in a televised debate in June.
Now Trump makes it clear that he wants to drug test Biden before the meeting.
– He was as tall as a house during his State of the Union speech, says the Republican presidential candidate in a speech on the night of Saturday Swedish time.
The debate is the first between the two since the 2020 election, when they met twice.
News that they would be pitted against each other again came earlier Wednesday when it became clear that CNN will air a debate in June, and ABC one in September.
And with a little more than a month to go until the first debate, the mental game has kicked into high gear.
“He was as tall as a house”
During a speech in Minneapolis, Donald Trump took several jabs at Joe Biden, where he continued to target the president’s advanced age.
– They say I lead by two points, but I don’t know if that’s good or bad. How can you only lead by two points against Biden? He can’t talk, he can’t walk, he can’t find his way off the stage, but he’s still agreed to debate, he says and continues:
– I will demand that he take a drug test. I don’t want it to look like when he gave his State of the Union speech, he was as tall as a house.
Not the first time
Even before the 2020 debates, Trump argued that Biden should take a drug test. But none of the candidates ended up doing it.
The first debate takes place on June 27.
Americans go to the polls on November 5.
