Filmmaker Michael Moore has lauded President Joe Biden’s decision to leave the presidential race, but now wants him to go one step further — resign from office.
“In one shining moment, at 1:46pm this afternoon, President Biden, in a true profile in courage, a selfless act for which he will be honored and remembered for years to come, put his country ahead of himself,” Moore wrote in a Substack post.
“May I ask you, Mr. President, for one more brave and bold action?” he asked.
Moore said Vice President Kamala Harris could have a better chance of beating her GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump, if she was in the Oval Office now, Mediaite reported.
“Kamala Harris will be in a much stronger position to win if she can run as the President of the United States. As the incumbent President. This will give the country a chance to see her in action — as the most powerful person in the world,” Moore wrote.
Moore went on to tell Harris she should choose Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) as her running mate. He also said she should call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
Moore said Biden’s support of Israel a “fatal mistake.”
“If you call for an immediate ceasefire, plus no more use of American offensive weapons, andthe release of all hostages, this will go a long way toward achieving peace and preventing Trump from entering the Oval Office,” he wrote.
Moore once referred to Biden’s campaign as the “cruelest form of elder abuse” he’s ever witnessed.
Now, Moore said Trump is “beatable.” He added Democrats can end “MAGA Nation.”
“MAGA Nation is over,” he wrote. “All that’s left to do is for each and every one of us to commit to getting out every single vote on our side of the political fence.”
