President Joe Biden’s presidential reelection campaign declined calls from former President Donald Trump and Republicans to take a drug test before their presidential debate.
In an appearance on CNN, Biden campaign spokeswoman Adrienne Elrod was asked for a response to Trump calling for a drug test for Biden before the debate on Thursday.
“I mean, I don’t even really know what to say about that,” she said. “I worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign, you know, she also debated him very effectively. He accused her of being on drugs.”
Republicans have been accusing Biden of using performance-enhancing drugs since 2020, a charge Biden’s team has vehemently denied. Trump joked about the prospect for months until calling for Biden to be drug tested before the debate on Monday.
“DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

The Biden campaign has been dismissive of the accusations. On Monday, the campaign referred to remarks made by Biden campaign co-chairman Mitch Landrieu in an appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday.
“Trump’s going to talk trash like that all the time because that’s what he does,” he said. “The other day, you may remember, he was trying to question our president’s mental acuity, and he could not remember the name of his own doctor, so tell President Trump, bring whatever he’s got — President Biden will be standing there, ready for him.”
