Fetterman campaign says Dem nominee is healthy after two cognitive tests, won't provide documentation: Report
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, ripped Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz for taking "cheap shots" at his health on campaign trail in an interview with MSNBC's Alex Wagner on Thursday. The campaign for Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman has released some results from two recent cognitive tests that he recently took as questions about his ability to serve in the Senate continue to circulate ahead of the November election. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Fetterman took two cognitive tests earlier this year, one being the Saint Louis University Mental Status Examination (SLUMS) and the other being the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). The SLUMS test, which consists of simple memory questions and requires patients to perform basic tasks like recognizing a shape and drawing in X inside of it, was taken by Fetterman on July 14 and the RBANS test was taken by Fetterman this week, according to the Inquirer. The RBANS test consists of an assessment related to immediate memory, delayed memory, attention, language, and other functions.
