Daily Wire host Matt Walsh reacted to President Joe Biden ending his presidential campaign on Sunday by pointing out a major issue with the development, saying that Biden’s decision shows the country is in the “most dangerous time in modern American history.” “For the next five months we will have a president who has publicly admitted that he is mentally and physically unfit for the job. This is the most dangerous time in modern American history,” Walsh posted on X. In a second post, Walsh called on Republicans to pressure Biden to step down as commander-in-chief. “Every Republican needs to go on the record right now calling for Biden to be immediately removed from office,” Walsh wrote. “If he is not competent to run for re-election then he is not competent to remain in the White House.” Biden, 81, announced his decision not to run for a second term in a letter to the public that was released on Sunday afternoon. In the letter, which comes less than four months before the 2024 election, Biden wrote that “while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” Calls for Biden to end his presidential campaign started with a few voices in the Democratic Party after the president’s disastrous debate performance against Republican nominee Donald Trump on June 27. During the CNN debate, Biden appeared tired and struggled to answer the moderators’ questions. The pressure on Biden to step aside and allow another candidate to run against Trump has grown over the past three weeks with dozens of House Democrats and multiple Senate Democrats joining the calls for their party leader to end his re-election bid. After the debate, Biden and his campaign remained confident that he would stay in the race and defeat Trump despite numerous polls and public opinion casting more doubt on Biden’s chances. However, as time moved on, Biden reportedly became more receptive to those urging him to quit the race. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Biden’s unprecedented announcement on Sunday sets up a potentially chaotic Democratic National Convention next month as the party will have to decide who to nominate. Shortly after announcing the end of his campaign, Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place as the Democrats’ nominee. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made,” Biden said. “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”

A flurry of Democrats celebrated President Joe Biden after he said on Sunday that he would be ending his re-election campaign. The announcement came as some of these same allies reportedly pressed Biden, 81, to bow out after his fumbling debate performance late last month spurred unease about his apparent decline and electability. Biden also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party, however, she may not ultimately get the nod. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in a post to X that Biden is a “patriotic American who has always put our country first.” Biden’s “legacy of vision, values and leadership make him one of the most consequential Presidents in American history,” she continued.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Biden “has not only been a great president and a great legislative leader but he’s a truly amazing human being.” The decision to drop out “of course was not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first.

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro responded with a six-minute video on Sunday to President Joe Biden announcing he would be ending his campaign while finishing his first term in office. Shapiro said the unprecedented announcement, which Biden made less than four months before the 2024 election, opens up “massive” questions for the Democratic Party, especially Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden threw his support behind after dropping out. The Daily Wire host began his video by addressing how Biden made the huge announcement in a letter that was posted on the president’s X account. “You would figure that he would do a sort of ‘farewell’ press conference,” Shapiro said. “He is not retiring from the presidency itself. He is only saying that he is not going to run, which leaves open a massive question as to why exactly he is qualified to continue running the country right now, but he is not qualified to continue running for the nomination of the Democratic Party.” “He is not leaving because he is senile. He is leaving because he is losing,” Shapiro added. JOE BIDEN IS OUT. My immediate reaction. pic.twitter.com/ga2uoxfAyu — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) July 21, 2024 Another question Democrats must consider, according to Shapiro, is how they will campaign if Harris is granted the Democratic nomination. “All of the attacks that have been leveraged against Joe Biden can now be leveraged against Kamala Harris,” he said. “And because he’s not stepping down from the presidency, the question is going to be to Kamala Harris, ‘You know he’s too senile to be President of the United States. Why don’t you 25th Amendment him? Why don’t you push him out?'” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Shapiro also pointed out that if Harris becomes the nominee while Biden finishes the final months of his second term, it puts the vice president “between a rock and a hard place.” “On the one hand, she doesn’t want to be responsible for everything Biden is doing; on the other hand, she can’t actually control the government,” he said. “She can’t actually control anything. … She is an extraordinarily vulnerable candidate.” Shapiro added that he doubts any of the leaders of the Democratic Party, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, would want to make a move for the nomination in an open convention. Instead, those Democrats could “wait this one out, watch Kamala Harris go down in flames, and then bank on 2028,” said Shapiro. “This is a total mess for the Democratic Party.” Earlier this month, Shapiro released a three-part series dissecting how Harris rose through the political ranks of the Democratic Party, an ascent Shapiro described as being marked by “deceit and corruption.” The Daily Wire editor emeritus said that Republicans have some questions to answer as well. “The reality is that the entire Republican campaign has been centered for the past month-and-a-half, two months, on Joe Biden’s senility,” he said. “That is no longer going to be the chief issue on the ballot. … The entire playbook is going to have to be shifted now to a new candidate. If it’s Kamala, again, there’s plenty to attack her on.” “Republicans are going to have to direct all of their political firepower at the Democratic positions,” Shapiro added. “They’re going to have to go back to Joe Biden being a bad president, the White House being a bad White House. The entire race just got upended.”

Trump reportedly told CNN's Kaitlan Collins in a phone call that Biden is 'the worst president in the history of our country'

'So I think the question now is what does the process look like?'

Republican lawmakers are calling for Joe Biden to step down from the Oval Office after the president announced Sunday he will not seek reelection. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden said in a statement on Sunday. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus soley on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” Biden’s resignation from the race and his resignation from the presidency should go hand in hand, said JD Vance, vice presidential nominee and Ohio Republican senator. “If you can’t run,” he said, “you can’t serve.” Everyone calling on Joe Biden to *stop running* without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism. If you can't run, you can't serve. He should resign now.— JD Vance (@JDVance1) July 20, 2024 Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said on X that Biden “didn’t go far enough” in resigning from the race. “If Joe is too weak to stay in the race for the presidency, he should resign as our Commander-in-Chief immediately,” she added.

Dan Bishop, R-N.C., said Biden’s supposed commitment to American democracy should inspire him to end his presidential term. “I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people,” the president’s statement said. “Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy. And we’ve revitalized andstrengthened our alliances around the world. “How can he remain president?” Bishop asked. “Yet another sign of devotion to ‘our democracy?'” Ponder the message here: The office of the presidency and safety of the nation pale in significance to Democrat political prospects.
