Tommy Tuberville demands Biden resign immediately after president drops out

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville Sunday demanded that President Joe Biden resign immediately after his surprise Sunday afternoon announcement that he would not seek re-election.

In a post on social media platform X, Tuberville said Biden “was never mentally fit to be President.”

“For three-and-a-half years, the corrupt media and the deep state bureaucracy have lied to the American people,” Tuberville wrote. “Today, President Biden finally admitted that President Trump was right all along: Joe Biden was never mentally fit to be President.

“Democrats and the media knew Joe Biden had serious cognitive issues and they used him as their puppet for as long as they could. Now, they’re trying to gaslight Democrat voters into thinking they have a say when clearly the Democrat elites are running the show.

“Democrats and the complicit media must be held accountable for this massive cover-up,” Tuberville stated. “If Joe Biden is unfit to run again, he is unfit to hold the nuclear codes. I join my colleagues in demanding that President Biden resign immediately.”

Tuberville’s comments echo those made earlier by former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance.

Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2024 election.
