GOP Lawmaker Calls for Biden To Resign Citing a ‘Blatant Abdication of His Office’

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) is calling for President Joe Biden to resign over his handling of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from 🇦🇫Afghanistan.

In a statement on Monday, Donalds said, “President Joseph R. Biden has abdicated his responsibility and duties entrusted to him as President of the United States. This blatant abdication of his office is grounds for President Biden to resign immediately.”

“It has become clear that President Biden has lost complete and total confidence of the American people through his haphazard decision to withdraw from 🇦🇫Afghanistan. This botched withdrawal is currently threatening the lives of our servicemen and women, the stability in the region, and our integrity on the global stage,” he continued.

Finally, he said, “I cannot look my constituents in the eye, many of who are veterans, and tell them that the President of the United States can perform the duties entrusted to him by the Constitution. Calling on the leader of the free world to resign his office immediately weighs heavy on my heart, but this must happen to restore American’s safety both at home and abroad, our honor, and faith in the Chief Executive to faithfully execute the duties of the Presidency.”

“President Joseph R. Biden must resign immediately,” he added.
