Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign responded to calls from President Donald Trump that he should take a drug test before their first debate on Tuesday as Trump sought to shed light on the former vice president’s “uneven” performance during debates in the Democratic primaries earlier this year.

Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said the president is making the claim in an attempt to deflect away from the U.S. COVID-19 pandemic.
