UN ELECTION: Harris challenges Trump to cognitive test

Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris said Monday she would take a cognitive test in response to jabs from Donald Trump and challenged the ex-president to take one too as mental fitness becomes a battle line in the White House race.

Harris has repeatedly said her 78-year-old Republican opponent, now the oldest presidential candidate in US history, is increasingly “unhinged” and unfit to lead the country again.

Trump has meanwhile called the 60-year-old Democratic vice president stupid, attacking her IQ in his pitch to voters in a race that the polls suggest is effectively tied.

Harris was asked in a CBS interview segment released Monday if she would take a cognitive test, as Trump had called for on social media.

“Sure. I would challenge him to take the same one,” the vice president said.
