Resign Immediately, House Speaker Tells Biden

House Speaker Mike Johnson called for President Joe Biden to resign immediately following Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election.

Eko Hot Blog reports that Johnson stated, “If Joe Biden is not fit to run for president, he is not fit to serve as president. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.”

This declaration comes amidst growing concerns over Biden’s age and ability to effectively govern.

The Speaker’s remarks reflect intense pressure from the Republican Party for Biden to step down, arguing that his decision not to pursue another term indicates he should vacate the presidency now.

EDITOR’S PICK:

Recall that Biden announced on Sunday that he is stepping down from the 2024 presidential race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.

Biden cited the need to focus solely on his presidential duties for the remainder of his term. His decision follows intense pressure from within the Democratic Party, including public calls from 37 lawmakers and private encouragement from influential figures like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
