U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson has called on President Joe Biden to resign following Biden's announcement that he will be dropping out of the 2024 Democratic presidential race. Johnson, along with other Republican leaders, argues that if Biden is not fit to run for president, he is not fit to serve as president. Johnson stated, 'If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately.' Republican senators and other party members have echoed this sentiment, demanding Biden's immediate resignation due to concerns over his fitness for office, describing him as 'mentally frail.'
