Former President Donald Trump has suggested that President Joe Biden might use cocaine before the first presidential debate.
CNN will be hosting the first presidential debate on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia, and has named Jake Tapper and Dana Bash the moderators.
While speaking at a rally in Racine, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, Trump brought up the bag of cocaine that was found at the White House last summer.
"Joe Biden doesn’t have a clue. Now we’re gonna watch– is anybody gonna watch the debate? He’s gonna be so pumped up, he’s gonna be pumped up. You know all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the White House? What happened?" Trump said. 🇺🇸TRUMP: BIDEN DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE

Trump appeared to get off track a bit, beginning to discuss Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell" before going back to the drugs.
“Who left it? Somebody left it. I wonder, let’s see. Somebody left the laptop in an office of a gentleman who was supposed to fix the laptop from hell,” Trump said. “He never picked it up, and somebody didn’t pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. I wonder who that could’ve been.”
“I don’t know—actually, I think it was Joe. Ha-ha,” Trump told the crowd.
According to a Quinnipiac University survey released at the end of May, a 72 percent majority of likely voters said that it is "likely" that they will watch the first presidential debate.
"Get out the popcorn, pull up a chair, it is must see TV and if the past is any indication, the gloves will likely come off early and often," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
The second debate will be hosted by ABC News in September. The network has not yet announced moderators for that debate.
