Fox News reports that Jackson is a former White House doctor. He and fellow Republicans wrote that they were concerned about the President’s cognitive abilities.
The Republicans wrote:
“We believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all Presidents should document and demonstrate sound mental abilities.”
They continued in their writing by saying:
May 14, 2023
“While you have undergone two physical exams during your presidency, one on November 19, 2021, and another on February 16, 2023, there is no indication you have had any cognitive assessment, or if you have, such results [were] concealed from the public.”

White House physician Kevin O’Connor claimed in February after the President took a physical that Biden was a ‘healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State, and Commander in Chief.’”

However, many Republicans note that a cognitive test was not part of the physical that the President took.
The Republicans wrote:
“However, this is a statement based on a physical exam that excluded the evaluation of your cognitive and mental abilities, which is where our concerns, and the concerns of the American public, lie.”

Jackson and the 61 House Republicans who signed on to the letter say they have sent three similar letters to the White House since Biden took office. However, they say they did not receive a response from the White House on any of those letters.

Frustrated by the lack of response, the House Republicans wrote:
“While you and your staff dismiss these inquiries, the American people continue to question your mental and cognitive abilities and lose faith in your ability to lead this country.”

They also pointed to a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll that found that 57% of poll respondents “do not believe you are mentally fit to serve as President or have doubts about your mental fitness.”
The letter went on to point out some of their concerns by saying:
FIFTH VICTIM FOUND AND IDENTIFIED IN KEY BRIDGE COLLAPSE
“When you first announced your bid to run in the 2020 presidential election, questions and concerns were raised surrounding your cognitive abilities. Those concerns have only increased because your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent since you were elected. Over the past two years, public appearances where you shuffle your feet, trip when you walk, slur your words, forget names, lose your train of thought, and appear momentarily confused have become more of a common occurrence.”
Although it is unlikely that the White House will respond, these House Republicans feel it is essential to have this information on the record.
