U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson has called on President Joe Biden to resign immediately following Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Johnson stated that if Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He emphasized that Biden's resignation is necessary to uphold the integrity of the presidency. Johnson also criticized Democrats and their media partners for allegedly covering up Biden's unfitness to lead the nation for the past five years. Johnson added that Democrats' prospects in the November election will not improve if Vice President Harris is complicit in Biden's failed policies. 'November 5 cannot arrive soon enough,' Johnson remarked.
