Nikki Haley, a contender for the Republican presidential nomination, expressed on Tuesday that she believes President Biden stepping down would serve both the nation and the Democratic Party well.
During her conversation on the “Hugh Hewitt Show,” Haley concurred with the host, Hewitt, who had earlier penned an opinion piece for Fox News advocating for Biden’s resignation. “Yes, I do,” Haley affirmed when queried on her stance regarding Biden’s potential resignation, adding, “And I think the Democrat Party is aware of that. It’s not only advantageous for their party but also for the country.”
Haley didn’t hold back in her critique, targeting both Biden and former President Trump, who are leading their respective parties’ nominations for the 2024 presidential race. She argued for the necessity of younger leadership, stating, “The party that decides to move on from their 80-year-old candidate will be the one to succeed. In these tumultuous times, with a world in turmoil, we can’t afford to have two octogenarian candidates. We need a leader committed to dedicating eight years towards revitalizing our economy, securing our borders, averting war, and steering our nation back on course.”
These comments follow the release of a report by special counsel Robert Hur, which scrutinized Biden’s management of classified documents. The report highlighted Biden’s memory lapses regarding his tenure as vice president and labeled him “elderly,” spotlighting a significant concern about his political future as the 2024 election approaches.
Despite these concerns, Democratic senators who have recently interacted with Biden assert his mental acuity remains intact, without any noticeable decline in cognitive function. However, there’s an underlying anxiety about how this narrative might impact his chances for re-election.
