Harris says she’s willing to take cognitive test and challenges Trump to do the same after he called her ‘mentally impaired’

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris challenged Republican former President Donald Trump to a cognitive test in the last week of the presidential campaign.

Trump had mocked Harris as having cognitive problems and even called her “mentally impaired” at one point.

‘Obviously, he’s kind of joking around there with the crowd at a Trump rally when he says those things.’

“Kamala is mentally impaired,” said Trump in Wisconsin. “Joe Biden became mentally impaired, Kamala was born that way!”

On Monday, CBS News reported that Harris had agreed to take a cognitive test and was challenging Trump to do the same.

“This is what he has resorted to, and I think he actually is increasingly unstable and unhinged and has resorted to name calling because he actually has no plan for the American people,” said Harris of Trump in the interview with CBS.

Trump has hammered Harris at various events and mocked her intelligence.

“She’s got bigger cognitive problems” than President Joe Biden, he said at a rally in Georgia.

“She is a very dumb person, and we can’t do that. We can’t do that. I don’t want to be rude,” he said at an event in Pennsylvania.

However, when the Republican National Committee was asked about the comments, RNC co-chair Lara Trump walked them back a bit.

“This is Donald Trump, and he has never tried to make himself out to be anyone other than who he is,” said the daughter-in-law of the former president. “And obviously, he’s kind of joking around there with the crowd at a Trump rally when he says those things.”

In the CBS interview, Harris acknowledged that the election was very close.

“It’s a presidential race. And it should be close,” she said. “In all honesty, I’m seeing a lot of enthusiasm around our campaign.”
