Congressional Republicans are calling on President Joe Biden to resign from office immediately after withdrawing from the 2024 race.

“If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) wrote on X/Twitter Sunday. “He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.”

At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.

Having invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who selected Joe…

And the Republican leader appears to be speaking for much of his membership. Here’s a small sampling of other GOP lawmakers calling on Biden to leave office immediately:

Unfit to stand trial.

Unfit to be a candidate.

Unfit to continue as President.

Biden must resign.

It’s disturbing and reckless that he’s been “running” the country as long as he has…

Doesn’t have the mental acuity or cognitive ability to run a political campaign but can serve for 6 more months as president? He should resign. https://t.co/McOWKGUVZA

If the Democrat party has deemed Joe Biden unfit to run for re-election, he’s certainly unfit to control our nuclear codes.

Biden must step down from office immediately.

If Biden can’t run for office, he should resign. Immediately.
