Former President Donald Trump is demanding that President Joe Biden take a drug test before the pair’s first presidential debate.
During a speech at a GOP dinner in Minnesota on Friday, Trump predicted that Biden would be “jacked up,” taking familiar jabs at the 81-year-old’s mental and physical condition.
Trump cited Biden’s March State of the Union address, alleging that the president was as “high as a kite” on national television.
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) also claimed that the president had to of been on something.
“He's so full of s--t," Trump said, referring to Biden’s repeated false claims and lies.
The 45th president promised victory in the state. Trump predicted there is a really good shot of winning the state, citing “great friendships” in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
According to a May 14 SurveyUSA/KSTP poll, Biden leads Trump just slightly by two percentage points, 44-42 percent.
A May 7 McLaughlin & Associates survey found that Trump and Biden were neck to neck at 40 percent.
Another McLaughlin & Associates poll found Trump beating Biden 46 to 41 percent.

On the contrary, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) insisted that Minnesota is in play and said that the Democratic Party is ignoring reality.
Minnesota's "like a lot of states that I think a lot of my fellow Democrats don't want to confess is the reality. … I'm telling my Democratic colleagues who are supporting President Biden, myself included, that there's a lot of work to do,” he said.
