President Joe Biden will finish the remainder of his term, the White House said on Sunday, after the president abruptly announced he was ending his re-election campaign.
“He looks forward to finishing his term and delivering more historic results for the American people,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates told news outlets in a statement.
Mr. Bates said that the president has already delivered strong economic growth and grown the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He said that the president’s agenda in the final months of the term includes lowering costs, creating jobs, and protecting Social Security.
“And he’ll keep fighting to protect Americans’ freedoms from radical abortion bans and attacks on the rule of law,” Mr. Bates said.
President Biden, whose term ends in January 2025, announced on social media on July 21 that he was pulling out of the 2024 race.
“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” the president said.
He also said he was endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
Following the announcement, some Republicans called for the president to resign.
“If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately,” Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said in a statement.
Others said that Ms. Harris and administration officials should remove President Biden from office under the U.S. Constitution’s 25th Amendment. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said she’d be introducing a resolution to that effect on Monday.
“If Joe Biden does not have the cognitive ability to seek reelection, he does not have the cognitive ability to serve the remainder of his term,” Ms. Mace said on social media.
The 25th Amendment lets the vice president and a majority of cabinet members declare that the president cannot carry out his job. Such a declaration results in the vice president becoming acting president.
Other lawmakers, including Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), said during cable television appearances on Sunday that President Biden should remain in office for the rest of the term.
“I want him to be the president in the last five months of this presidency of his term to do what he can do is unite our country, to calm down the rhetoric, and be able to focus attention to peace in the world,” Mr. Manchin, a former Democrat, told CNN.
President Biden has no public events scheduled between July 22 and July 28, according to the White House press office. He was scheduled to receive his daily briefing on Monday morning.
Hey Joe, just show your true colors and Pardon yourself and Hunter, then you will be safe to resign without the pains and necessity of getting re-elected so you could keep control of the Obama minion controlled protective Justice department that you now fear will soon serve you the well deserve justice your corruption has created, once Trump gets control. Just don’t do it before the Chicago Convention to insure your failed Kamala incompetence insurance policy, lives long enough to lock her in to get defeated by an even larger amount of votes you were destined to lose to Trump by.
Indeed, “good things come to those who wait” and the good things that will come when your bad things get removed will indeed open the eyes of THE PEOPLE.
IF he is too addled to RUN, how then can they justify keeping him in office?
Dropping out of running for re-election and allowing Kamala to earn/win at the Convention is one thing that will not overtly upset Black democrat voters by denying a black woman Veep from inheriting the Presidency and will not upset the blacks who still vote for her,,,,,but Torpedoing a duly elected White President from office before his time to slip Kamala into the Presidency unelected through the back door, without being duly elected by THE PEOPLE, just for the sake of claiming they elevated the first Presidential black woman,,will tick off more White American Patriot voters of BOTH parties at best, and at worst destroy any really qualified black woman from ever again getting honestly elected, once Kamala and her Woke Biden mimicked chuckleheaded governance sends the country into more full blown tailspin failures in economy, war, social unity, peace, and tranquility. No matter how bright, beautiful, intelligent, composed, or articulated any following worthy black woman is, nobody of sound mind will be able to get the Kamala image of deception and failure out of their minds, and the illegal donkeys she rode in on. Black America deserves one of their best and brightest to be the first to pave the way for others to follow, not plow under and bulldoze any chances of a black woman of real potential to meet her own best expectations and aspirations to exceptionally lead this country of exceptional people who live for the challenges and opportunity to excel.
Not just that, but it possibly creates a MASSIVE legal conundrum, since they are essentially nullifying all the votes we’ve just had for the dem nominee..
