Let Kamala be president now! So say the republicans
I don’t understand why all the republicans are clamoring for Biden to resign now. Mike Johnson – the accidental speaker – has said that “if he is not fit to run for president, he is not fit to serve as president.” Other house republicans have said the same from Steve Scalise to Elise Stefanik have intoned much the same. On the senate side JD Vance, Steve Daines, Mike Braun and Rick Scott have called for Biden to resign. Nancy Mace in the house and Rick Scott in the senate say that they will introduce resolutions to ask the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment. Again, this is an absolute waste of time.
What about the democrats? Its outright support for Biden to continue. No democrat senator or representative has called for Biden to resign. His usual cheerleaders and apologists like Connecticut’s Chris Coons, who actually cried hearing Biden had opted out, are still supporting his staying in office. In fact, eighty-one percent of democrats are against him resigning while 63% of republicans want him gone now.
But isn’t it a bit curious that the republicans want Kamala Harris to be president now and the democrats don’t? Maybe the republicans think that an incumbent Harris would be easier to beat but why risk it? She might actually surprise us all – even though I doubt it. Anyway, we have seen all the damage that Biden could do unilaterally. Don’t you think that a more “progressive” much younger President Harris would double down on Biden’s policies through the use of executive orders? I think we all would be better off with Biden staying. The words of the republicans ring hollow. Biden has not been capable of being president for at least the past year, perhaps two. Why just now call for his resignation? Again this points to the republicans being asleep at the wheel and literally doing nothing of importance during the Biden presidency. Lots of hot air. Lots of smoke. Losts of posturing before the cameras. But no substance. Letting the attorneys general do their job. If this has not been the worse republican delegation in memory, it is hard to find one that was worse.

The Dems likely forced Biden out with the threat of using the 25th amendment to remove him from power. That is likely why he dropped out of the 2024 election. Notice everything has been communicated without a TV conference.

That’s interesting. I would have thought that his cabinet and vice president would not invoke the 25th. Rather I thought it more likely that some billionaire donor would give him a couple million to exit.
