Republican reactions flooded in on Sunday following President Joe Biden’s campaign announcement that he would not run for reelection, including a response from the party’s prominent figure, former President Donald Trump.
Biden’s decision came after increasing pressure for him to withdraw from the race, following his poor performance in the recent debate against former President Donald Trump.
A growing number of Democrats, their supporters and donors, including influential figures in Hollywood, have joined the call for him to step down.
This demand followed a series of post-debate polls showing declining support for Biden nationwide, particularly in crucial battleground states.

Trump also responded on his Truth Social page.
“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t – And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he wrote.
Some Republicans, such as Republican Conference Leader Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), called on Biden to resign immediately, suggesting that if he is not fit to run for reelection, he cannot continue running the country.
“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,” she tweeted.
“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 added.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) added: “President Trump has never just been running against Joe Biden. He’s been running against the destruction of America brought by Democrats and their policies. Kamala. Michelle. Hillary. It doesn’t matter who they pick. 2024 is open borders vs secure border. Globalism vs Nationalism. Collapsed economy vs strong economy. President Trump is the strongest he’s ever been and you can’t stop the TRUMP TRAIN.”
Before, Trump informed Martha MacCallum of Fox News that he thought Biden would eventually withdraw from the race.
Q: “Do you think Biden will drop out?”
TRUMP: “Personally — I think so.”

Biden has given his endorsement to his vice president, Kamala Harris, although it remains uncertain whether she will face opposition at the upcoming Democratic National Convention or in the legal system.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a Sunday interview on CNN that House Republicans are prepared to back legal challenges if Democrats attempt to circumvent primary voters and replace President Biden on the presidential election ticket at the eleventh hour.
“Democrats are looking into potential legal hurdles to replacing their nominee so late in the process. Do you think that whoever emerges from the Democratic Convention as that party’s nominee for president and vice president, do you think those people should be on the ballot in all 50 states? Or would you support efforts to sue to keep those nominees off state ballots assuming it’s not President Biden or Vice President Harris?” asked CNN host Jake Tapper.
“Look, I’m a former litigator, you know a constitutional attorney. I’d just made note in some uh… comments of the last week that they have real problems,” Speaker Johnson replied. “I mean, every state has their own election system, that’s our constitutional system, that’s the way it’s done. And in some of these states, it’s a real hurdle, they have a real problem of replacing the nominee at the top of the ticket.”
Johnson went on to note that Biden was selected by Democratic voters to be their nominee through a months-long primary process. “It will be very interesting to see if the so-called party of democracy, the Democrats, go into a back room somewhere and switch it out and put someone else at the top of the ticket,” he said. “I mean, I think they’ve got I think they’ve got legal hurdles in some of these states, and it’ll be litigated, I would expect, on the ground there, and they’ll have to sort through that.”
As usual the Democrats have made a big mess again. 😳
They’ve been pulling stunts and shenanigans all along since 2016 when Trump first ran for the office of President and for them to try some fancy stunt, tricks or magic because “they screwed up totally” is just more of “the same criminality” by them in this process! And frankly it’s too damned bad for them because they blew it long before Biden’s dropping out now, with “all of their lies and cheating for many years;” and none of your suggestions like Hillary or Michael Obama stand “a snowballs chance in hell” of being elected, nor should the “slimy Democrat Commie Party” be able to even try such a sick evil stunt! Here is my suggestion to them and the powers that be; they stole the 2020 election and so now “just get the hell out of the way” and let the next President be “Donald J. Trump” who the majority of The People (citizens) want now anyway; and act of God! DONE!
Capiche!
I feel better correcting that; “an act of God!”
Somebody essentially lend a hand to make significantly posts I might state That is the very first time I frequented your web page and up to now I surprised with the research you made to create this particular put up amazing Excellent job
Well their last ditch criminal attempt at getting rid of The Don failed last weekend. Now they want to replace one moron for another. Or is Kumalot just evil and treacherous, giggling and stupidity is just an act?
You hit the spot Lawrence M. Evil always catches up to you sooner or later.
Your blog is a true gem in the world of online content. I’m continually impressed by the depth of your research and the clarity of your writing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
Since when did the Democrats ever obey the law or follow the constitution. No. They operate on Pirate’s Rules. To hell with the law, the constitution, or morality – of which they have absolutely none. Thanks to the sinister Kenyan Hussein Obama the current crop of c’RATS are communists and they’ve adopted the communist manifesto, “By any means necessary”. Elect them again this November and it will be hell on earth for the US and likely bring about a civil war or the devolution of the country into Left and Right. The Left states will then set about attacking the Right states because Leftism does not work, leaving plundering the only option.
Your eyes are open. You see very clearly.
Wanna bet that “Sleepy Joe” shows up, for the second debate ?
Biden had a hard enough time exiting the stage on the 1st debate.
So the Democratic elected presidents are not the leader. So voters need to know- who is holding the puppet strings so they can be held accountable
That’s correct. Follow the money.
Has anyone told Joe Biden, yet ?
Joe Biden didn’t resign – he was forced to because in order for the Democrats to run they need big bucks and the donations dried up with Biden on the ballot. He should have ever been elected, but we can’t look back. Anyone with common sense – Per report from Hur if a man can’t be held for missing documents because of his condition, how can he continue as President? For his health he will be a lot better off. The campaigning was killing him.
we know who has been running the country since 2021. they now have no one to prop up and do their bidding. what and who will take personal responsibility for this debacle? NO one.
