President Biden three times dodged questions about whether he'd take a neurological test in one of the more contentious moments of his first sit-down interview since a widely panned presidential debate performance last week.
"Have you had a full neurological and cognitive evaluation?" ABC News' George Stephanopoulos asked Biden in an interview conducted Friday afternoon and aired in the evening.
"I get a full neurological test every day with me," Biden replied. "I've had a full physical. … I've been to Walter Reed for my physicals."
Stephanopoulos again pressed the president about taking a neurological test, and Biden again ducked.
"Have you had the specific cognitive tests, and have you had a neurologist, a specialist, do an examination?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"No, no one said I had to. … They said I'm good," Biden responded.
