In response to the outpouring of criticism that the president spoke incoherently and appeared to lose his train of thought while going head-to-head with Donald Trump, Pelosi asked: "Is this an episode, or is this a condition?"
"When people ask that question, it's completely legitimate — of both candidates. Both candidates owe whatever test you want to put them to, in terms of their mental acuity and their health – both of them."
President Joe Biden vowed to continue his campaign despite his poor debate performance.
Pelosi added: “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision. Because time is running short. I want him to do whatever he decides to do. And that’s the way it is. Whatever he decides, we go with.”

Hollywood star George Clooney also called for Biden to ditch his campaign in a New York Times op-ed.
The Gravity star penned: "The Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."
"We are not going to win in November with this president ... Joe Biden is a hero; he saved democracy in 2020. We need him to do it again in 2024."
