Ahead of debate, Trump escalates calls for Biden drug tests, accusations of CNN bias

With only days to go until he faces off against President Joe Biden in Thursday's CNN debate, former President Donald Trump is escalating his demands that Biden take a pre-debate drug test, something the Biden campaign rejected as "desperate."

That's in addition to a growing list of complaints Trump and his campaign are making about CNN, accusing the network and its moderators of being biased.

"DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!" Trump wrote on his social media platform Monday afternoon and later fundraising off his call.

Trump has called for Biden to be drug-tested as early as April, saying he would debate Biden "anytime" and "anywhere" if the president takes a drug test. He has escalated such attacks since he and Biden agreed to debate in May, citing Biden's strong showing in his State of the Union address in March.
