If Haley had her way, Joe, Nancy, Dianne, and Mitch would all be tested.
During an appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation over the weekend, 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley renewed calls for competency tests for politicians over 75; it’s not disrespectful, she says.
“We need to have mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75,” she said. “And I don’t say that to be disrespectful. I don’t care if you do it for 50 and older. What I’m saying is, these are people in D.C. that are making decisions on our national security.”
“They’re deciding the future of our kids’ economy,” she continued. “We need to know they’re at the top of their game. When you go and look at Biden and you- and you ask him what country he was in the week before, and he can’t say it. When you go and ask him how many grandchildren he has and he doesn’t know. When you go and see him falling asleep with leaders. That’s concerning.”
Haley wants a new generation of leaders across the board.
“Republicans have lost the last seven out of eight popular votes for president,” she said. “That’s nothing to be proud of, we should want to win the majority of Americans, we’ve got to start going with a new generation so that we can do that. We have to leave all of these older diplomats and Democrats- and Democrats and Republicans behind. And let’s start dealing with new solutions that the American people can feel like governments working for them again.”

Age has increasingly become an issue on the campaign trail, with many candidates calling attention to the fact that President Joe Biden needs notecards to remember simple tasks and specialy stairs to comfortably board Air Force One.
