Former US President Donald Trump has challenged Joe Biden to a no-holds-barred debate and an 18-hole game of golf to prove Biden's fitness for office. The challenge comes amid concerns about Biden’s mental health, especially after a poor debate performance. Biden's campaign dismissed the challenge, stating the President is focused on leading the country.

The challenge comes amid growing concerns about the 81-year-old Biden’s mental health from within his own party, following a subpar performance in a previous debate.
Trump stated at a rally in Miami that he wants to give Biden a 'chance to redeem himself,' proposing a man-to-man debate with no moderators and a golf match where Trump promises to donate one million dollars to a charity of Biden's choice if Biden wins.
Biden's campaign spokesman dismissed the challenge as a distraction, asserting that President Biden is focused on leading the nation.
Despite increasing pressure from senior Democrats for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race, Biden remains committed to running for a second term.
