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 [sic] 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.

The Florida Congressman’s comments amid criticism of Biden’s execution of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The president has defended the withdrawal arguing that there was no way to withdraw U.S. forces without “chaos ensuing.”

He also told reporters on Sunday that there is “no way to evacuate this many people without pain and loss and heartbreaking images you see on television. It’s just a fact.”

Last week, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) blasted Biden’s handling of the withdrawal and asked if it is time to “exercise the provisions of the 25th Amendment.”

The 25th Amendment lays out a process to take power away from a president.
