Joe Biden has no intention of resigning the presidency, the White House said in a statement on Sunday, and that he “looks forward to finishing his term and delivering more historic results for the American people,” Report informs via Politico.
The statement comes after Republicans began openly calling for Biden to resign in the wake of his decision to abandon his campaign, arguing that he could not continue running the country if he wasn’t going to continue running for reelection.
Biden aides and allies have uniformly dismissed the notion, insisting that Biden is both capable and determined to serve out the final months of his presidency.
“President Biden inherited an economy in freefall, a skyrocketing violent crime rate, and alliances in tatters from his predecessor. He turned that around to deliver the strongest economic growth in the world and the lowest violent crime rate in nearly 50 years, while making NATO bigger than ever," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said. “He’ll keep fighting to protect Americans’ freedoms from radical abortion bans and attacks on the rule of law.”
