PELOSI: BIDEN SHOULDN’T DEBATE TRUMP
Suggests top Democrats worried about Biden’s mental decline
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said there shouldn’t be any presidential debates ahead of the election because Joe Biden shouldn’t “legitimize” conversation with President Trump.
Her comments came a day after Trump demanded that Democratic presidential nominee Biden take a drug test before the debates.

“I don’t think that there should be any debates,” said Pelosi Thursday. “I wouldn’t legitimize a conversation with him – nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States.”
“I think he will also belittle what the debates are supposed to be about. And they’re not to be about skulduggery on the part of somebody who has no respect for the office he holds, much less the democratic process.”
Pelosi’s admission probably indicates private concerns by top Democrats of Joe Biden’s mental decline that even left-leaning host Joe Rogan pointed out months ago.
