(The Guardian) Republican House speaker Johnson calls on Biden to resign, says Democrats 'prospects are no better' with Harris
The Republican speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has joined those calling on Joe Biden to resign, while saying Kamala Harris will not perform any better as a candidate.
“The party’s prospects are no better now with Vice President Kamala Harris, who co-owns the disastrous policy failures of the Biden Administration. As second in command and a completely inept border czar, Harris has been a gleeful accomplice — not only in the destruction of American sovereignty, security, and prosperity, but also in the largest political coverup in U.S. history. She has known for as long as anyone of his incapacity to serve,” Johnson said in a statement.
“If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.”
He also characterized the Democratic party as undemocratic, alleging that, by dropping out, Biden “invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who selected Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president”. Expect to hear that argument repeatedly in the months to come from Republicans who are looking to counterattack Democratic attacks that Donald Trump is not fit to serve for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
“Having invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who selected Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president, the self-proclaimed ‘party of democracy’ has proven exactly the opposite,” Johnson wrote.
