GOP Senator Demands Vice President Harris, Cabinet Members Invoke 25th Amendment

Senator Eric Schmitt (R., Mo.) on Monday became the first member of the upper chamber of Congress to call on Vice President Kamala Harris and current cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Joe Biden from office after his Sunday announcement that he will not run for re-election.

“If President Biden is willing to admit he is unable to continue to stand as the Democratic Party nominee for President after the primary process due to his health, he is unable to continue to serve as President until January 20, 2025,” Schmitt wrote.

He urged Harris to pronounce that Biden’s condition has rendered him incapable of continuing in his role and, should he refuse to resign, make the decision for him.
