WASHINGTON — Top Democrats on Sunday praised President Joe Biden for his accomplishments in the White House after he ended his re-election campaign, with some following his lead by expressing support for Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place as the party’s 2024 presidential nominee. Many Republicans, meanwhile, said that Biden’s decision means he shouldn’t continue serving the rest of his term in the White House, which ends in January.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., called on Biden to resign as president, a message shared by other Republican lawmakers on Sunday. “If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President,” Johnson said. “He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
