Republicans demanded President Joe Biden’s resignation from office after he announced the end of his reelection campaign on Sunday.

For 3 1/2 years, the corrupt media and the deep state bureaucracy have lied to the American people.

If Joe Biden does not have the cognitive ability to seek reelection, he does not have the cognitive ability to serve the remainder of his term. If he doesn’t resign, Kamala should invoke the 25th Amendment.
