The private and public calls by Democratic politicians and liberal media pundits for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race lead to an obvious question: If Biden should drop out of the race, why should he not also resign from the presidency?
Along with the private panicking by Democratic politicians and operatives who want Biden to step aside, several in the media are publicly calling for the same. That includes the New York Times editorial board, which said Biden is clearly “not the man he was four years ago” and he struggled to do everything during the debate, including “more than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.”
The editorial boards for the Chicago Tribune and Atlanta Journal-Constitution, two more liberal outlets, also called on Biden to drop out. Several writers at the New York Times and the Atlantic also joined in, as did MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, one of the biggest Biden shills in the media and the host of Biden’s favorite political show. Their reasonings are all fairly similar: Biden is too old, looks too old, and was unable to effectively debate former President Donald Trump and show voters that he has a full grasp of his mental faculties.
Again, the obvious follow-up question is why Biden should even remain in office for the next seven months if he stumbles to make it to the end of sentences and is too old to win a debate against someone such as Trump. Shortly after the debate, it was reported that, according to former and current aides, Biden is engaged from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but he becomes fatigued outside of that time frame. This is the same man who already spends 40% of his presidency on vacation, and now we are told that he can only function for six hours on the few days he decides to focus on his job.
The presidency is not a 9-5 (or, in Biden’s case, a 10-4) job. Threats to America do not care about what time frame the feeble president is at his best. As John Hasson pointed out in a social media thread, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’s assault on Israel both occurred outside of Biden’s competency time window. So did the killings of 13 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan during Biden’s botched withdrawal and the killings of three U.S. soldiers in Jordan.

You know, the same soldiers Biden pretended never existed during the debate when he claimed no U.S. soldiers had died under his presidency?
If Biden isn’t competent enough to make it through a 90-minute debate or to function at 5 p.m., he isn’t competent enough to continue to serve as president for the next seven months. For the sake of the country, Biden should resign because, no matter how awful Vice President Kamala Harris is, she is actually lucid during normal working hours.
