Judicial Watch Statement on President Biden’s Decision to Step Down from the Presidential Campaign
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding the resignation of President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party presidential nominee:
President Joe Biden’s resignation from the presidential race is the result of a corrupt, arrogant, and anti-democratic process. Biden was forced to pull out of the presidential race as the result of a dangerously corrupt pressure campaign led by Obama, Pelosi, Schumer and like-minded Democrats, which has effectively disenfranchised 14 million Americans who voted in the Democratic presidential primaries.
Few Americans will buy the DC establishment’s scheme to remove Biden from the presidential campaign over cognitive issues while ignoring his inability to serve as Commander-in-Chief.
Vice President Kamala Harris and the majority of the cabinet need to step up and invoke the 25th Amendment. And, Congress should do an emergency investigation into Biden’s fitness for office. The assassination attempt on former President Trump adds increased urgency to ensure we have a fully capable president. This is truly a national security crisis.
And to make matters worse, we have this “coup against democracy,” as the Left likes to say. We are not going to know who the nominee of the Democratic Party for the office of president of the United States will be until August. It’s election interference, pure and simple. There is nothing about this process that’s normal, appropriate or honest.
A snap national primary (or primaries) to pick a new nominee would seem to be the most “democratic” approach to Biden’s decision not to seek reelection. At a minimum, a careful state-by-state and federal legal analysis is a necessary first step to help determine whether Biden can be replaced on the presidential ballot at this late stage in the presidential campaign. Judicial Watch is already investigating this election integrity issue. That the votes of 14 million Americans would be casually tossed aside by Democratic Party elites is a major corruption and election interference scandal.
