Mike Johnson, who is the United States of America House Speaker has called for President Joe Biden to resign immediately following his announcement to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.
His statement comes amidst growing concerns over Biden’s age and capability to serve for another term.
Since Joe Biden is not fit to run for president, then he is not fit to serve as president. He has to resign the office immediately. Johnson insisted.
Biden’s decision to step down was influenced by his recent COVID-19 diagnosis, which forced him into isolation in Rehoboth Beach, further fueling the debate over his fitness for office.
This move adds Biden to join the list of U.S. presidents who have opted not to seek re-election after just one term, with the last being Lyndon Johnson in 1968.
The withdrawal of Joe Biden has intensified the pressure on the Democratic Party to find a viable candidate to prevent Trump from coming back.
