House Republicans are calling on President Biden to resign from office after he announced that he would no longer seek reelection, arguing that he should not continue to serve in the White House if he is unable to run for another term.
The comments — several of which were from House GOP leadership — came shortly after Biden said he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, a seismic announcement that rocked the political world and left the path forward for Democrats uncertain.
“If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote on the social platform X. “November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.”
But if Harris became president now, It would also give Republicans six months to absolutely demolish the country and blame it on her. And they would, too. They would actively seek to damage the nation if they thought it would let them get Trump in.
What would they really be able to do that they’re not doing now though?
The Mike Johnsons and MTGs of the House can rabble-rouse all they want. They can pass all the terrible bills they want. It’s all DOA in the Senate. Schumer will request that all bills are sent over on toilet paper so at least he’ll have some use for it when he gets it. That’s stuff they’re going to do already. Do you honestly think Johnson is going to even bring anything of substance to the floor between now and November unless it’s a direct attack on Democrats? The only thing you’re going to hear for the next few months are nothing but terrible messaging bills, conspiracy theories, and red meat for their racist base. Whether Biden or Harris is in charge, none of that is really likely to change.
A lot of the inflation is artificial, made up by the owners of big corpos, who tend to be republican, to make the current leadership look bad. They don’t need bills for that
