In a dramatic turn of events, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, has called for the immediate resignation of President Joe Biden.
Johnson’s statement comes on the heels of Biden’s announcement to withdraw from the upcoming presidential election due to concerns over his age and health.
Biden’s decision to pull out of the election has sparked intense political pressure, with five House Democrats – Reps. Jared Huffman (California), Marc Veasey (Texas), Chuy Garcia (Illinois), and Marc Pocan (Wisconsin) – urging him to “pass the torch to a new generation of Democratic leaders” in a joint statement on Friday.
Johnson has taken it a step further, stating, “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.”
Despite the mounting pressure, Biden has vowed to focus on his duties as president, ensuring a smooth transition of power.
This development comes as a significant blow to Biden’s presidency, with many calling for his immediate resignation. The political landscape in the US is set to witness significant changes in the coming days.
