The White House said Tuesday that President Joe Biden can bounce back from his poor debate performance last week, adding there was no need for him to prove his cognitive abilities – per Agence France-Presse (AFP).

"He knows how to come back," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters, adding that his medical team had previously said a cognitive test for Biden, 81 years old, "is not warranted, it is not necessary."
