 Biden and Starmer spoke by phone Friday with the two leaders pledging to work together in support of freedom and democracy around the world. Meanwhile, President Biden has sidestepped a question about taking and releasing a cognitive test. During an ABC News interview, he was asked three times if he would do the test to reassure his backers. He said he takes a cognitive test every day and then added no one has asked him to take one. This was his first interview since his shaky debate performance.
