Following President Joe Biden's announcement that he will not seek re-election in 2024, prominent Republican lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, are calling for his immediate resignation. Johnson, along with other GOP members, argue that if Biden is unfit to run for re-election, he is also unfit to serve as President. Johnson emphasized that Biden's withdrawal from the race undermines his ability to govern effectively, and he must resign immediately for the good of the country. This sentiment is echoed by other Republicans who believe Biden's decision to drop out of the race invalidates his capability to continue serving as President. Johnson also mentioned that November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.
