Among the Republican voices calling for Biden's resignation is Representative Mike Johnson, who stated, "If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately."

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer echoed this sentiment, saying, "If the Democrat party has deemed Joe Biden unfit to run for re-election, he's certainly unfit to control our nuclear codes. Biden must step down from office immediately."

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik similarly remarked, "If Joe Biden can't run for re-election, he is unable and unfit to serve as President of the United States. He must immediately resign. The Democrat Party is in absolute free fall for their blatantly corrupt and desperate attempt to cover up the fact that Joe Biden is unfit for office."

Republican Study Committee Chair Kevin Hern added, "If Joe Biden is unfit to be the Democrat nominee for president, he's unfit to be president for the rest of his term. For the good of the country, Joe Biden should resign immediately."

The 81-year-old President has faced increasing pressure to drop out of the race following his poor debate performance against Trump, which raised concerns about his ability to run a campaign and serve a second term.

Biden's announcement has been met with mixed reactions. Democratic lawmakers have expressed confidence in his ability to complete his term, while Republicans insist he is no longer fit for office.

Senator Steve Daines, chair of the Senate GOP's campaign arm, said, "If Joe Biden is no longer capable of running for re-election, he is no longer capable of serving as President. Being President is the hardest job in the world, and I no longer have confidence that Joe Biden can effectively execute his duties as Commander-in-Chief."

The debate over Biden's fitness for office is likely to continue, with Republicans expected to press for his resignation and Democrats defending his ability to lead the country.
