With Biden Out of the Race, Sen. Schmitt Calls for Using the 25th Amendment
SUMMARY
Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has called for Vice President Kamala Harris and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office, citing his recent withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and his performance in a June debate against Donald Trump. In a letter, Schmitt argues that Biden's health issues, including his admission of needing an early bedtime and a limited work schedule, impair his ability to serve as President. He claims that Biden’s inability to fulfill presidential duties justifies his removal and criticizes Democrats for allegedly pressuring Biden out of the race and undermining democratic processes. Schmitt’s call reflects broader GOP concerns over Biden’s fitness for office and his handling of national issues.
