US House Speaker Urges President Biden to Resign Amid Election Pressure
A dramatic turn of events has unfolded in the United States, as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has called for President Joe Biden to resign immediately. The demand follows Biden’s announcement that he will withdraw from the upcoming presidential election, citing concerns over his age and health.
In a statement released on Sunday, Johnson firmly stated that if Biden is not fit to run for president, he is also unfit to serve as president. “November 5 cannot arrive soon enough” when Biden’s term will come to an end, Johnson emphasized.
Biden announced his decision to pull out of the 2024 election on Sunday, responding to intense pressure from lawmakers and the general public. Despite this, he has vowed to continue focusing on his presidential duties.
This development comes on the heels of a joint statement issued by five House Democrats on Friday, urging Biden to drop out of the election and “pass the torch to a new generation of Democratic leaders.” The lawmakers involved are Reps. Jared Huffman (California), Marc Veasey (Texas), Chuy Garcia (Illinois), and Marc Pocan (Wisconsin).
The controversy has sparked widespread debate and speculation in the United States, with many voices weighing in on the matter. For now, the nation waits to see how this dramatic turn of events will play out.
