Democrat strategist Brad Bannon echoed this sentiment, suggesting that a transition would be politically beneficial for Harris but potentially harmful for the nation. “If that happened, it probably would be good politics for Harris. I think the excitement of the first woman, female president, a new president would help her campaign, but I think it would be bad for the country. I think by the time you do a transition between Biden and Harris, you would be swearing in a new president next January. I don’t think there’s time for that. And I think it’s also — it seems to me, this is the perfect arrangement. Now Joe Biden can focus on running the economy, not have to worry, you know, running the campaign and not having to worry about politics while it frees Harris to campaign full time.”
Despite these warnings, prominent Republicans like Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who was former President Donald Trump’s pick for vice president, are vocal about their desire for Biden to resign. “Everyone calling on Joe Biden to stop running without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism,” Vance wrote on the X platform. “If you can’t run, you can’t serve. He should resign now.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana also joined the chorus, declaring on X, “At this unprecedented juncture in American history, 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. 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.”
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik echoed these sentiments, calling for Biden’s immediate resignation due to his alleged inability to serve effectively. “If Joe Biden can’t run for re-election, he is unable and unfit to serve as President of the United States. He must immediately resign. The Democrat Party is in absolute free fall for their blatantly corrupt and desperate attempt to cover up the fact that Joe Biden is unfit for office. Every elected Democrat in America owns Joe Biden’s failed and feckless record causing the border crisis, Bidenflation, and chaos and weakness around the world. President Trump will win this November to save America,” she proclaimed on X.

Dr. Ben Carson and his wife, Candy Carson, also weighed in, expressing their agreement on X. “It’s good to see that President Biden is not going to attempt to subject the American people to potentially another four years of dangerously incompetent leadership. He should resign immediately from the presidency and remove an element of peril for the American people. Considering who would replace him for the next several months, November can’t get here quick enough,” they wrote.
In summary, while some Republicans advocate for President Biden’s resignation, strategists caution against this move, arguing that it could inadvertently bolster Vice President Harris’s position and campaign. The debate underscores the complex strategic considerations at play as the GOP navigates the upcoming election season.
