In a recent X post, Senator and Donald Trump’s Vice Presidential Running Mate JD Vance made a bold statement: if Joe Biden isn’t willing to run for reelection, then he isn’t fit to be president now and should step down immediately.
While this may seem like a harsh stance, there are several compelling reasons why Vance’s argument holds merit.
“If Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President?
“Not running for reelection would be a clear admission that President Trump was right all along about Biden not being mentally fit enough to serve as Commander-in-Chief.
“There is no middle ground.”

First and foremost, if Biden is not willing to commit to running for reelection, it suggests a lack of confidence in his ability to lead the country for another term. If he doesn’t believe in his own capabilities, why should the American people?
A president who lacks the drive and determination to seek reelection is unlikely to be effective in their current term.
Moreover, if Biden were to step down now, it would provide the Democratic party with ample time to select a new candidate and mount a strong campaign for the 2024 election.
Waiting until the last minute to announce a change in leadership would be a disservice to the party and the country. By stepping down now, Biden would demonstrate his commitment to the party’s success and the stability of the nation.
Furthermore, stepping down now would allow Biden to leave on his own terms. If he were to wait until the last minute to announce his decision not to run, it could create chaos within the party and lead to a rushed and potentially weak campaign.
By stepping down now, Biden could ensure a smooth transition of power and help the party select a strong candidate who can effectively carry the Democratic banner into the 2024 election.
Finally, if Biden is not willing to run for reelection, it may be an indication that he is not fully committed to the responsibilities of the presidency. The job of the president is incredibly demanding, and if Biden is not willing to take on another term, it raises questions about his dedication to the role. Stepping down now would allow someone else to step up and take on the challenges of leading the country.
In conclusion, if Joe Biden is not willing to run for reelection, then he should step down now. Doing so would demonstrate his commitment to the Democrat party, ensure a smooth transition of power, and allow someone else to take on the responsibilities of the presidency.
While it may be a difficult decision, it is ultimately the right one for the country and the party.
