Vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) demanded that President Joe Biden step down from office after members of the Democratic Party convinced him to end his reelection bid over concerns about his mental acuity.

Vance, who former President Donald Trump chose to be his running mate on the first day of the Republican National Convention this month, said that if Biden cannot run for office due to cognitive concerns, he should not continue serving as president.

“Everyone calling on Joe Biden to *stop running* without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism,” Vance wrote on the X platform. “If you can’t run, you can’t serve. He should resign now.”
