US House Speaker Mike Johnson said US President Joe Biden is not fit to serve as US President as he is not fit to serve as US President.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday called on US President Joe Biden to resign from his post immediately, saying that if he is not fit enough to run for US President, then he is not fit enough to serve as US President.
“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 said.

Joe Biden earlier in the day had dropped out of the White House race while endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the party’s candidate.
“We must be clear about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the 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,” Mike Johnson said, referring to the nearly 4,000 Democratic delegates by winning primary elections in US states and territories.
Johnson also slammed Biden’s decision to put forward Kamala Harris as nominee for the Democratic ticket against Donald Trump and accused her of mishandling the US border crisis.
“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,” Johnson said.
“She has known for as long as anyone of his incapacity to serve,” he further added.
The US House Speaker, who is second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President, if both decide to step down, warned US’ adversaries and said that the US Army and the American people are ready to defend their interests at home and abroad.
