A Senate Republican is calling on all elected officials to release their health records voluntarily, amid concerns about aging lawmakers in Congress and President Biden’s apparent mental decline.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, Louisiana Republican who is a gastroenterologist, said it should “certainly be a house rule” for candidates to make their health records public.
Recent polls show three-quarters of voters in both parties believe Mr. Biden, 80, who has shown increasing frailty in public, is too old to run for another term. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 90, is under pressure to resign by members of both parties following months of mental decline. The California Democrat and oldest serving female senator has awarded her daughter limited power of attorney over some of her affairs, but insists she is capable of carrying out her duties in Congress.
