J.D. Vance asks the obvious: If Biden is too demented to run, shouldn’t he resign?

First Lady Jill Biden calls Trump a "liar" at an after-debate party with Democrat supporters on Thursday. Some observers say that the First Lady is the only person who can get President Joe Biden to drop from the race, but that she doesn't appear likely to do so.

Vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance asked on X/Twitter the question on the minds of many Americans:

“If Joe Biden doesn’t have the cognitive function to run for re-election, then he certainly doesn’t have the cognitive function to remain as Commander-In-Chief. How can any Dem pushing him to drop out of the presidential race, argue in good faith that he should stay on as POTUS?”

Operatives at the highest levels of the Democratic Party have been conducting a trickle campaign to erode the ground under President Biden, who is said to have Covid, according to the White House.

Biden had a fourth dose of Paxlovid and his “loose, non­productive cough and hoarseness continue to be his primary symptoms, but they have improved meaningfully from yesterday,” Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a letter released Friday.

The number of nationally elected Democrats calling for Biden to step back from his reelection campaign is now over 60, with more senators and representatives joining the call for Biden to leave the race.

Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola of Alaska has not joined that chorus of Democrats. She is still on record saying Biden is the “sharpest, smartest” person she has met in Washington, D.C., although she has also acknowledged more recently that Biden will lose Alaska in a landslide.

Headlines from news organizations are amping up the pressure:

“Democratic mood darkens as Biden faces new pressure,” wrote BBC.

“Behind the Curtain: Top Dems now believe Biden will exit,” wrote Axios.

More Democrats call on Biden to exit; his team says he is ‘absolutely’ still in the race, wrote the Los Angeles Times.

But Biden is fighting mad at his own party for undermining him in what appears to be an internal coup that would thwart the will of the primary voters.

Biden said Friday he plans to return to the campaign trail next week and sees a path to victory over Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris was meeting with donors on Friday and his campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “he’s in it to win it.”

  1. Kamala should immediately invoke the 25th amendment, but perhaps she senses her own inability to govern?

  2. You go Joe! The more Dr Jill pumps you up and sends you out the better off we are. Dr Jill is not giving up the golden goose and has her heels dug in. I want to see more debates like this past one and more mindless speeches. Then Kamala can debate JD, that should be a hoot.

  3. You need to listen to your dear and loving wife Joe. Stay in.

    For yourself. For Dr. Jill (fanfare). For Beau (drugs are a terrible thing). For Ashley (sniff). For the 10%.

    You got this Joe. You are gonna win!

  4. Biden resigns, remind again who’s #2?
    .
    If #2 can’t be controlled like Biden, what’s the upside of resignation for the Democrat Party?

  5. Jill Biden now has severe mental illness, an affliction that appears to be contagious amongst Democrats. 2024 is going to send a lot of crazy and insane Democrats to the Looney Bin. Some will go in Paddy Wagons and Posey Belts. Get the meds ready too.
    Republicans:
    Keep yourselves strapped-in.

    • He does, in fact. But for sending in a team to liberate and extract “ice cream chocolate chip” after business hours. It requires a specialized skill set and training to complete the kind of mission that the west wing staff just aren’t equipped for. No joke.

    • Apparently the Constitution allows Trump to run and serve. But your pally Traitor Joe clearly has mental deficiencies that would in a normal sane world trigger the 25th amendment.
      Democrats are not normal or sane, meaning that as long as Joe polls higher than Kamala, the 25th is shelved.
      And it’s Democracy that you commies, err, democrats are trying to save?

      • Even if the 25th is invoked, Grandpa Bloodstains would still be the 2024 nominee unless he willingly stands down.

        • Never discount Democrats ability to thwart the democratic process, at this point even they know that they can’t put dementia Joe at the top of the ticket in good conscience (have him win).

    • Yes….
      There is no constitutional prohibition of which I’m aware. Also, one is not a convicted felon until the judge issues a Judgment of Guilt, which is normally done at sentencing.

    • You might want to hold your happy dance for a bit, as Merchan has yet to accept the jury verdict. He hasn’t sentenced Trump yet. And the appeals process is yet to start. Cheers –

  6. “If Biden is too demented to run, shouldn’t he resign?”
    Well, of course. And that won’t make the coming nightmare for the Democrat Party any better or worse. They’re completely fubar already.
    And a lame duck Trump presidency must look really scary to them. If I were them, I’d start shipping furniture and wall art to their New Zealand hidey holes……….

  7. The Biden’s aren’t going anywhere. All of their sycophants and servants at the WH want to keep their jobs. Joe and Jill will only go down kicking and screaming, like two old Alzheimer’s patients.

  8. Trump took a shot to the head. Biden took six shots to the arm. And yet, Biden still got Covid. WTF.?

  9. This has been common knowledge for sometime to those paying attention, it has been common knowledge for all to see since the debate on June 27th.

  10. Why isn’t anyone asking how he got 81 million votes when he was obviously demented? They never want to talk about voter fraud….weird, huh?

  11. The idiot needs to go. He just gave $89mm to dying motorcycle company Harley Davidson to encourage development of their electric motorcycle line (that no one wants).

    Haven’t heard that? It hasn’t been announced by HD yet.
