Raskin calls for Trump cognitive test

The move reflects growing concern among Democrats and some medical professionals about the 79-year-old president's mental acuity and increasingly erratic public statements.

Raskin argued that the public has a right to know the results of such a test, citing the 25th Amendment as a potential mechanism for addressing executive fitness.

Republicans have dismissed the call as a political stunt, pointing to Trump's active schedule and recent diplomatic efforts as proof of his capability.

The debate over the president's health is expected to intensify as the midterm elections approach and the conflict with Iran remains unresolved.
