Nancy Pelosi was quick to call for the application of the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump when he was president. It was clear from his doctor, as well as to many here and elsewhere, that Pelosi did not have a valid case. However, with Joe Biden’s showing signs of cognitive and physical decline, as well as his performance during the Trump-Biden debate, a growing number of Democrats changed their tune. With Joe Biden’s suspending his campaign, now comes calls from many Republicans for Joe Biden to resign.<\/p>\n

From Washington Examiner:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“If Joe Biden can’t run for re-election, he is unable and unfit to serve as President of the United States. He must immediately resign,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the No. 3 Republican in the House, said in a post to Truth Social on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) ridiculed Democrats for what he called the hypocrisy of conceding concerns about Biden’s mental acuity after years of labeling “Americans who questioned the President’s fitness based on what they saw with their own eyes” as “conspiracy theorists.”<\/p>\n

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) called Biden’s decision “overdue” in a post to X, saying he’s “pointed out for two years that President Biden’s mental capacity has been declining,” while Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) wrote, “If Pres. Biden is not competent to run for reelection, he should step down from the presidency.”<\/p>\n

Their words came on the heels of a statement Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, made this morning, warning that Biden must resign immediately if he ended his campaign.<\/p>\n

“If Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President?” Vance asked in a post to X.<\/p>\n

“Not running for reelection would be a clear admission that President Trump was right all along about Biden not being mentally fit enough to serve as Commander-in-Chief,” Vance continued.<\/p>\n

Across the board, Republicans attacked Democrats for waiting this late in the game to stop Biden’s bid for a second term. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) worried in a statement to X that “the Democratic Party” is “trying to upend the expressed will of the American people in primary elections across the country,” while Johnson slammed the Left for “forc[ing] <sic> the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
