While the US Democrats were praising Mr. Biden for the work done, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, began to demand Mr. Biden’s complete withdrawal – not only from the election battle, but also from the presidency.
“If Mr. Biden is not fit to seek another presidential term, he is not fit to be president either.” He must resign immediately,” declared Mr. Johnson.
The Republican is an ardent supporter of Donald Trump, and it was because of him that the issue of support for Ukraine was stuck in Congress for a long time.
Mr. Johnson announced on May 14 that the criminal proceedings on suspicion of falsifying business documents are a weapon of the system against Mr. Trump.
Mr. Biden emphasized in his post that although he is withdrawing from the presidential election battle, he is not withdrawing from the duties of the US president and will remain in the White House for the last months of his term.
We remind you that the US presidential election will be held on November 5. – the term of office of the president lasts four years.
Mr. Johnson said a few hours before Mr. Biden’s announcement that he was withdrawing from the election, that if such a scenario occurred, Republicans would consider going to court. In an interview with CNN, Mr. Johnson said that in some states, changing the name of the candidate who won the party’s election on the ballot could be against the law. He made it clear that Republicans would definitely consider addressing the issue at the legal level.
“Each state has its own system. And in some it is simply impossible to take and replace a candidate,” said Mr. Johnson.
